Welcome to Briskoda.

Best to place this querie in the Fabia 1 section.

Hope this helps??

Hi

This is an Octy querie , so may be better in Octy section rather than the Fabia

But be aware that the SDi Octy did have major problems with the gearboxes on these , and if I remember correctly (IIRC) then the lack of gear selection could be something to do with it

I am sorry , but it could be bad news

I hope not for your sake as it usually means new gearboxes

I will await someone coming along with a bit more knowledge on this

oops sorry mate. :O

Hello and Welcome.

Might be worth getting the linkage cables adjusted. Otherwise, you're looking at a reconditioned box as a replacement.

welcome

hi guys thanx for the welcome, its great to no we have forums like this, managed to get it sorted it was the stablising bar that came out of the gear stick rod, pushed it back in and all was fine, back on the road again, with no cost thanx to all for help:thumbup:
