gear lever problem

[henryc]

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

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.

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.

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?

[Mud Dog]

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.

Hoe gereeld moet die vloeistof vervang word?

[Mud Dog]

Elke twee jaar max. Did gebruik gewone brake fluid (dot 4) ... selde as die briekke.

Die gear lever bushes kan hom ook hakerig maak.

Waneer laas is die olie vervang?

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.

Dis op die voetstuk van die gearlever da is 2 pennietjies wat in die kante inkom jou gearleaver het n' dopie wat da inhaak bai keer kom daai pennetjies uit dan is jou leaver los en draai in die ronde (Retainer noem hulle dit hy kos 1300 en die gearleve kos ok R1300) by Toyota ek het myne laas jaar vervang want die PIRATE gearlevers is die grootste klomp @#!#$@@. Dis my ervaring
