Hi folks, hope you can help. My first post, but been a member for years -I've learnt lots, thanks.
I have what appears to be a major problem with my gearbox - my garage say I need a new one, but I'm not so sure. Can anyone offer advice, please?
The car is a Mk2b, 1.2 Active 8v, 53 Reg (Nov 2003).
These are the symptoms; Gearchange getting a bit crunchy in all gears - only slight. A bit noisy in all gears. First, second and third all seem to work fine.
Fourth is another matter. Once engaged, slight use of accelerator, just to maintain speed, no problem. However, any pressure and car jumps out of gear with a big bang. Let go of throttle and it goes back in. Same thing with fifth.
All help gratefully received!
Thanks again
