reluctance to go into reverse when warm
Posted: 17 Apr 2014, 11:22
Lots of threads on gearbox's and good info on Wiki, but I can't find anything that matches my problem:
1.9 DG engine, 4 speed box in a Autosleeper High Top. When I begin my journey, ALL gears change fine. After warming up (10 -15 mins of driving), still no probs with forward gears but there is a real grind and reluctance going into reverse. I've started by looking at gearbox oil - it's clean and plentiful, but I might change it anyway. Should I look at the magnetic drain plug for the 'christmas tree'? And if I find the tree (wear and tear?), what next? What other things should I look at / consider?
