1600 x-flow engine, gear box problem.   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #273 of 292 |
Hello all

Could someone please tell me what I need to buy or do to correct the
problem of a very sloppy gear change? I have on occation selected
reverse gear when I needed first, and visa versa. Very embarrassing.
The gear change is not at-all positive as if it has no definite
direction, giving the feeling that it could fall out of gear at any
time (though it hasn't done that-yet). I don't think its a clutch
problem as it is not at all difficult to put in gear (even if it is the
wrong one).
I have a 1969, 1600cc Ford Capri crossflow engine with 4 speed gear box

Thank you. Mike.
