Hi all,
Having a few gearbox issues with my F13. Sometimes it is very difficult to get it out of reverse and when it happens I then can't get 1st or 2nd. After some faff and a bit of force I can usually get 1st eventually but then it makes an unpleasant sort of whining grindy noise when pulling off which disappears when changing into second. It can then be fine for a while and then randomly happen again.
I have removed the 'box and taken the cluster out and can't really see anything unusual although I don't really know a vast amount about the inner workings of a gearbox. I'm pretty sure the linkage is not to blame as I can select gears fine when the problem isn't occurring.
The output shaft seems to have some play in it with the cluster removed, is this normal?
Any ideas on what might cause these issues?
Thanks
Nick
