Post by REDRDLC on May 15^th, 2008, 6:38pm

HI GUYS,
GOT A BIT OF A PROBLEM WITH MY COSSIE BOX!
JUST PARKED UP TO GO TO THE SHOP,CAME OUT STARTED CAR AND GEARLEVER HAS GONE ALL LOOSE NOT SELECTING ANY GEAR ,STUCK IN REVERSE WHICH I PUT IT IN TO BACK UP A BIT.
COULD IT BE THE CONNECTING ARM/ROD AND HOW EASY IS IT TO GET AT?
REGARDS,
PAUL.

REDRDLC.
I should think that the clip has come off the rod.You need to take the heatshield off.the clip usually lays on top of it,but best fit a new one as they weaken with use.The job is not difficult.

YOU ARE RIGHT,THE CLIP HAD COME OFF.RAC MAN BODGED A DIFFERENT ONE ON TO GET ME HOME SO I WILL HAVE TO GET HOLD OF A NEW ONE TOMORROW HOPEFULLY.
CHEERS.
