No Gears

Evening Folks,

After having the Clutch , Slave & Master done by the garage last week @ covering approx 300 miles , I went over a speed bump and 20 seconds later no gears , well was stuck in 1st gear managed to drive approx a mile and call the AA.

Surprisingly the AA arrived within half an hour, popped the bonnet and identified it as being the Gear Box Selector Rod/ Rods ball joint has come away as the Rods were just hanging loose.

He could get his hand so far but was restricted with the engine to pop it back on , he did say if he could have got underneath it would be a simple case of popping it back on.

Now my question is what do in need to order or what caused it to dog this ? Is it a simple fix ?

The ball joints aren't supposed to pop apart. So presumably the joints are worn, or the garage that did the clutch damaged them, or a combination of both. You'll need a replacement rid set, to cure the problem.

Not sure if it’s the ball joints that’s what the AA chap said , all I could see was the gear box rod dangling ?

What would I need to replace you think & cost of part roughly ?

Not cheap. But I'd clip them back together, and see if they come apart again, before spending out big money on replacement.

Oh jeez just what I never wanted to hear well will see on Monday what the outcome is
