Hi Kat,

Dry draining the gearbox of oil and see if water comes out. The try filling with gearbox transmission oil.

Hi bob

thanks for the reply

hopefully changing the oil will fix it allthough it doesnt seem as bad today

do you think its best not to drive it so as not to cause anymore damage?

Bin there...I just kept driving, think the water washed away some of the grease in the linkage or something!
