Hi,

I am having problem with my gears at the moment.

Skoda Fabi 1.4 Y Reg 4 door.

Moving from 5th or 5th - down 1 or 2 gears - stick becoming stuck in neutral.

Can't get in to any other gear - can almost feel the gear stick movinmg out of position in the gear box.

The only way to get back in is to slow right down and try a random gear - usually going in to 2nd or 3rd solves the problem - then you are OK again.

This doesnt happen all the time but more recenlt y becomming increasingly frequent.

Spoke to DM Keith Skoda Dealer in Leeds - they said that it sounds like a gear selector alignment issue or synchro / synchro mest alignment problem.

They said that it doesnt sound like a clutch problem.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

doesnt sound like clutch. could be selector... does it grind in gear

Not always - it can do

Does it crunch going into reverse with the engine running?

It somestimes does - not everytime - just depends how careful you are with the clutch.

I was on a level road - 1st gear selected - clutch firmly down - could hear the gear trying to engage with the clutch. Could it be that the clutch pedal is out of line or something?
