Hi guys.
Just aquired my first landy, a 200 Tdi on an H reg.
Everything is fine, apart from a slight gear selection problem...
3rd, 4th and 5th are perfect and couldnt be better.
But - Reverse, 1st and 2nd are a bit fo a different story. The main problem is that they arent quite where they are supposed to be. I often end up selecting reverse when I want 1st - is is very hard to tell whether you have actually gone into 1st or reverse as they seem very close together. And for some reason it just doesnt feel right from when going from 1st to second - slightly offline or might just be me.
The main problem is this 1st and reverse business - i can cope with it, but my missus refuses to drive it LOL . At first i thought jsut an easy linkage problem, but the setup isnt quite how I thougth t would be - as you probably know the gearstick basically goes straight down into the transmission tunnel and straight into the gearbox... ive taken the gearstick gator off, and am faced with some sound deadening and a black rubber boot where i presume the gearstick enters the gearbox - how am i going to be able to adjust this?????
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks.
