Hi can anyone help before I have to part with money at a garage. Have a 2001 2.8 JTD ex ambulance that I.m turning into a camper. Went to pick some wheels up for it last week and got near home and 5th gear stopped working. No loud bangs or crunching. Would engage the gear no problem but just no drive when the pedal was pressed (like the clutch had gone) Managed to make it home on 4 gears.
Drained the oil 2.7 ltrs came out. Took cover off 5th gear no debris inside and visually everything looked ok. Knocked tabs off the nut/collar to get gear cluster off. However couldn't get the nut off the shaft. Tried tapping it round with a screwdriver no joy. Got a big set of grips on it and the whole thing (cluster) moved round not with any great ease but it was moving. Being in gear made no difference. Is there something I'm missing or has anyone else had a similar problem. I'm wondering if the problem is inside the 5th gear cluster. Cheers Rob
