gear selection

[tourneomoneypit]

re gear cables i have followed threads on this site my question is after removing the four clips should there be an obvious movement in cables as after re-assembly gears remain same ie prob getting 1st +reverse which is worse on first start up but slightly improves out on road [van has done 149 000] but dont know if cables have been changed in that time

hi again since my last query about my 05 2litre fwd tourneo things have got worse have done the cable adjustment ; thing is this morning had another go with engine off can select gears fine soon as i start her up gears dont engage 1st +rev no go others will go in at a push any ideas thanks

Sounds like the turret bearing in the gear selector on top of the gearbox may be starting to collapse. Search 'mk6 gear selector bearing replacement fwd stuck in gear' for a good how to thread.

ok thanks dodge will have look now any body out there got an opinion ?

Could be a possible clutch fault if it's only when running?

[tourneomoneypit]

thanks punto yeah i thought that but whats throwing me is 1st and rev are immpossible rest of gears will go in at a push also no grinding noises like thrust bearing etc
