Truckster,
I took it in on monday (yes 4 days ago) to get a starting problem looked at........(more on that in a new thread once I get the car back)
I also mentioned when I dropped it off the gearbox was sometimes difficult to change gears and sometimes the gear changes felt very metal on metal or it felt like the synchro was not right as sometimes you could feel the meshing of the gears during the change.......
They said the oil was a little low and they adjusted the selector bush?
I've read the archives about the 5th gear problem and there is one thing that is going to make me raise this as an issue with them (Article 3437 and a comment from Rickwagupatrol)
"I mean, i for one wouldn't like for it to go when my missus is driving with all the kids in the car, up the freeway at 100kmh, then bang, there goes 5TH GEAR. she would freak out. I shudder at the consequences!!!"
.......This is the wifes car and she tranports the kids in it.
If they say no...I'll ask for it in writting.
