Gear selector lever jammed and stack at reverse speed after I select reverse and this happened twice:bang::bang: The shifter couldn’t move to any other position and that's because the gear selector inside the gearbox jammed between the gearbox 1-2 and 3-4 striker rods. I removed the gearbox back housing and repositioned the lever and everything is ok. The only explanation I can give is because the selector lever has a play inside it’s housing and I guess it misses its position between the selectors. I removed the housing from my old gearbox and it certainly has a smaller play (but it has) Million dollar question is shall I put the housing from my old gearbox or buy a new housing with possibly zero play? Old gearbox never had the same problem. Or perhaps something else worse is happening.
First time this happened my car was on a mechanics shop and he told my that he will fix it for me. I couldn’t do anything so I let the ‘’expert’’ fix it. Unfortunately two weeks later happened again inside my garage this time so don’t blame me why I didn’t fix the problem in first place and I just reposition the shifter.
