Hey guys,

I dropped down to fourth on Sunday & got stuck there! Can only just select fourth or neutral - gearstick wont move anywhere else - even when the engines stopped - any ideas!?

RAC bled the clutch & checked underneath, but all looks ok

Got a '99 Turbo RB5, which has a 'short shift' as standard - think this just mean it has a shorter stick - anyone know for sure!!??

If it is the gearbox, what are my options? Any sources out there for cheap/re-conditioned gearboxes if ness?

Cheers

not sure about your problem but if you require a secondhand gearbox try Grade A

Have seen it happen numerous times. The thrid/fourth gear synchro has a small collar on it, this snaps off "if" the gear selector is pushed a little too far, and jams up the selector rail. Not too bad a job to repair,remove the bits of cllar from the box, unjam the selector and re assemble again.
