Gear selection problem 1997 S40

Nov 21, 2003 0 Replies

Hi all,



I have a problem recently developed..



I have quite a lot of difficulty getting into first gear and reverse. First gear takes a lot of wiggling to get in, moving into neutral and it will go eventually. Trying to get into reverse just goes into first gear, you have to force the gearstick hard left and it eventually goes in...



The car pulls well and I am sure the clutch is OK.. How can I adjust this, or is it a job for a good mechanic? Does the clutch need`replacing??



Any clues please let me know!



All the best, Gez.
