More than 1 gear

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by top banana racing, Jul 8, 2014.

  1. I seem to be able to select more than 1 gear when at a standstill.
    If I fiddle with the gear stick when stopped I find that the gearbox is locked SOLID, unable to move even an inch forwards or backwards. o_O
    It feels like it's going into gear normally but it's locked solid.
    Some judicious waggling of the gear lever and eventually I can select as normal and it'll be fine for days and 100's of miles.
    Been underneath all seems well, in fact all seems new 'cos it is.
    Only happens if I waggle the stick when stopped?
    I am officially confused.com.
     
  2. Stop waggling, you will go blind!

  3. This in Ted?

    Didn't you put a refurb'd box in?
     
  4. Yes, it's in Ted and yes it's a rebuilt 6 rib with an extra long 4th.
    Runs and drives perfect, never crunches when driving, it only happens if I mess around when not running?
     
  5. I'm no expert when it comes to boxes, but I would refer you back to the builder... As it shouldn't be doing that :eek:

    Stuck in first - some kind of selector issue.

    If you give the box to me, you'll be able to waggle away to your hearts content..problem solved :thumbsup:
     
  9. Could be the selector rod is slipping out of the front donut shaped sleave at the front chassis.
    Tumnus.
