Hi

I'm not a mechanic but would like some suggestions.

Whilst driving our Fabia 19.Tdi (Y reg) this morning it got stuck in gear.

It moved from first to second gear no problem, then became stuck in third gear when changing up again . . . I can't get it out of third now . . . when depressing the clutch the drive became disengaged, so I think this is not a clutch problem (85,00 miles on clock), could it be the linkages or synco or something like this. Managed to get it home.

Thanks for any replies in advance.

Happen to me twice mate, 1st time I wasnt even caining it, 2nd time, I was at Santa Pod Basically its the bronze gear selector fork if you ask me. Stuck in 3rd (for me to), you couldnt select 1st or 2nd when driving, or 5th and 6th, you could move it into 4th but it would still be in 3rd gear (revs wise) and even neutral was actually 3rd. Gearbox out jobbie im afriad

Broken selector fork mech or cable.

Cable is easy and quite cheap fix

Selector mech can be sorted with the box in place.

Can it? I guess it was a case of stripping mine down to check it wasnt anything else and gave the gearbox a clean out at the time too, new oil and oh a diff

Will remember that for next time :haha:

I think the poster replied with something else, and rather than delete, decided to edit it with the above fella.

Hi

Thanks for your replies, it's been in the garage and the problem was the master cylinder. Everything seems OK now (I hope!).

Thanks again, great forum.
