Gearbox had worked fine in my -99 Marea 1.8 until now. I stopped to have a cup of coffee and came back droving again, 1,2,3 gears ok but 4th gone as aswell as all gears except 3rd was lost. No extra sounds before that acceleration & shifting up. I stopped to check the shifter linkage because I was pretty sure that one connecting rod of the shifters linkage was disconnected but no. All are properly connected and no extra loosenes on the connections which could explain the gearbox behavior.

Also the H-pattern of the shifter seems to be more or less "out of position". 2nd and reverse positions seems to be there but not exactly. Clutch is ok and releases fine.

All that I can think of which causes this is the shifters fork is somehow damaged inside the gearbox. Any ideas or has similar happened to someone before?

hi,
I would check that the mechanical parts of the rod/ cable change mechanism are good,

^Yup. I have done that three times because I can't believe it could be the gearbox which is broken. But I can't find anything broken or loose in the linkage. Next thing is that I go to scrapyard to find low mileage gearbox :mad:
