hi. hopefully i am not repeating another thread here(i did look) and hopefully someono out there can help!
my mrs has a 1995 1.7 diesel uno and it rocks. she absolutely loves it and in her deluded state has decided to name it beautiful. christ.
anyway she is learning to drive in it and i wasnt in the car at the time so details are shady. she was reversing with no drama. stopped and went to change into first but the gear lever has gone really sloppy and she couldnt find first. i came to the rescue and had a look.
if you imagine pushing the lever to the left or right in neutral it should spring back to the centre when you let go. it wont do that now. also in each gear location a gear can be selected but its not what you expect. i drove it home and i think i found 3rd and 4th.
i had a similar fault on my lovely golf gti track car and it was a broken gear linkage so i suspect the same but it appears ok (it was pissing down at the time though!!)
any ideas from you lovely people??
i need to get project £30 back on the road!
cheers
