Gearbox Problems (me thinks)

Post by Hellwin »

Every time I want to change gears, the gearbox makes a scraping noise like I haven't got it correctly in gear and when I'm waiting for a traffic light and have the clutch all pressed in nicely, it feels like the van wants to drive off and the scraping noise is back even when I've put it in neutral. It's a 1990 1.6TD T25 I drive, and it still drives well, the engine hasn't lost any power and I can still use the gears to slow the engine down (or how ever you call it here).

:think

Any ideas or is my gearbox knackered :axe

Oyeah, I don't know much about engines and transmissions.

Cheers,

I've got a good garage here right a round the corner. I'll ask him what it might cost me, as I'm a greedy and money tight Dutchman :lol:
