gear lever problem
I need some help please,
When my sfa is in 3rd gear I'm able to move the gear lever to all parts of the world.....the car is still stuck in 3rd gear and I can only get it out of 3rd gear once I return it to it's original location in 3rd gear. Makes driving a bit of a schlep.....Hope this makes sense
Thanks

Re: gear lever problem
Gear boxes are not my strong point, but it sounds like the 'gate' has gone, (if indeed the SFA box even has a 'gate'). Usually this can be sorted by removing the gear lever from inside and replacing the 'gate' (very often made from neopreen or nylon instead of metal).
Hopefully one if the other guys knows more about it. Good luck.

Re: gear lever problem
Had the same problem with a Mazda 4x4.
There is a rubber / poly bush at the end of the lever that like a ball joint, get a new rubber in and you gear lever will be as good as new.
I'm sure that you can get it from your local spares shop.

Re: gear lever problem
Op my 2.7 voel dit of ek nie die clutch diep genoeg intrap nie, dit is of dir ratte hak, sal dit die selfde probleem wees?

Re: gear lever problem
Nee Pieter, dis iets anders. Dit kan die syncro's in die ratkas wees wat besig is om die gees te gee of die clutch wat nie lekker ontkoppel nie. Jou clutch is seker Hydraulic en nie kabel nie. Check eers die fluid level in die reservoir en bloei die sisteem op dieselfde manier as die brikke. As dit nie die probleem uit sorteer nie dan bestaan daar nog die moontlikheid dat die pressure plate swak is. Hoor eers wat dink die ander ouens.

Hy was so 8000km terug in vir 'n groot diens, sal moet uitvind of dit deel van die diens was, anders doen ek dit en die clutch sin so gou as moontlik en sommer die difs ook.
