Gearbox

Various gearbox problems on my mk2 forte saxo:

car takes a lot of tries to go into 1st gear

2nd gear feels really clunky when changing up gears.

reverse gear takes a few tries to go in

gear stick shakes and moves around a lot whilst driving (especially when taking foot off accelerator)

new clutch time maybe? or something else,

thanks in advance.

Sounds like a clutch problem to me..

If the gear stick moves around then that's a goosed engine mount mate.

would whip the box out check th clutch not that then gearbox. could just be trying to jump out o gear and the bolt that joins your stick to th rod under the car could need tightend

mine had a similar problem with the gear stick, all i did was replace the pin in the gearbox which cost like 14p from citroen

Thats a clutch problem mate

damn, wish i'd checked the linkage and pin when i had my saxo, i had the same problems as this and just didnt suspect it. even after a new clutch fitted it was a pain. would of saved me some time swearing at the damn thing trying to get into gear lol
