Title: Gearbox question
Post by: Wendywoo on December 28, 2005, 12:08:29 PM

Hi

I am having a problem with first gear on my biz, When you pull away in first gear the car jolts really quickly and repeatedly and then jumps out of gear.  Im having to pull away in 2nd this has been okay but not for hills etc.

Does anyone have any ideas what this could be caused by, could it be a clutch problem?

Cheers

Wendy

P.S Anyone got snow this morning?

Sounds like the gear selector forks inside the box are worn, an easy rouye would be swap the gearbox for another, as for the jumpiness could possibly be a tooth knocked off but unsure without being there.

Hope this helps

Its a common 126 box problem, either find a seconhand box or live with it, which isnt nice I know. I had one that did that in 3rd which was really annoying! Thing is BIS boxes arent really common.
