Right I'm not too sure if my gearbox has died or what. So I'm just seeing if anybody else has had this happen to them.
Basically I have no 5th gear at all.
Now 5th gear used to whine a little bit but nothing too bad, but yesterday it started popping out of 5th when I let the clutch up which had me thinking that it was just an engine mount as the gearstick moved when I pressed the throttle etc.
Anyway, when I put it into 5th now there is nothing there at all, it doesn't sound or feel like it's trying to go into gear. All other gears are fine.
I've tried adjusting the clutch so I don't think it's that.
So either I've stripped 5th gear? Which I would of doubted a lot tbh as surely it would of made some hoffific noise and tbh I don't think I'd have enough power to actually destroy 5th?
Or my linkages are worn just enough that I can't engage 5th?
Basically I don't have a fucking clue at this moment in time tbh, and I really can't be arsed doing a fucking gearbox change as I did it so many times on my Rallye lol
Any ideas before I get her in bits?
