Mk7 Connect, 06 plate, 5 speed gearbox.Can't get all gears.

Postby st8ernard » Mon Feb 05, 2018 12:48 am

Gear selection has been getting worse. At first reverse and 1st were not good to select, and after a while others went bad. 5th felt as though it was not engaged but worked. Tonight coming home from work I could only get 3rd after a brief struggle with reverse. I am ready to start stripping down the engine to fix it but I do not know what to strip. Is it something I can do, I am an engineer but not an auto one.Is there any one who could talk me through it. Is there anyone who knows what the fault is.
I would be so grateful if someone could help,
Regards st8ernard :?

Is it a Mk7, or is it a connect, because they are very different vans. (There isn't a Mk7 Connect BTW)
1994 Mk4 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (R.I.P.)
1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)

Either way Al why would you strip the engine to fix the gearchange :?: Post a picture of your van :idea:
On the sixth day God created a Sprinter on the seventh he gave it away and bought a TRANSIT
