5th gear is hard to find
Hi all. New here and first post. Great forum thanks.
My C30 is great except it has trouble finding 5th, as in when I shift from 4th to 5th, the lever goes too far across (opposite reverse). It's as of the slot for 5th is somehow missing and I have to be very precise in finding the hole. 6th is fine. The gearbox itself seems good - just the mechanism is probably broken somewhere external (I hope) to the box. Don't know anything mechanical but hoping it's simple. Has anybody seen anything similar? Thanks |

Many many years ago on a Vauxhall Nova I had issues selecting a certain gear, turns out the when Id had something on the engine replaced, it was making contact with the gear linkage.
If you can, it would be a good idea to get under the car and follow the linkage to see if its hitting anything...this will be a good starting point anyway. |

You may have fixed this by now. I had THIS issue with my 6 speed box. It could be a similar problem?
