another problem

[paulette1585]

Right so after my eventful clutch change that amused everyone today I now have another problem that I am hoping you can help me with. Clutch now in and car back together, however 1st gear and reverse seem to be back to front and 5th is none existent, what the heck have I done wrong car is a simple cable clutch clio

You have fannied up the gear linkage somehow!

[paulette1585]

is this easily sorted, please say yes!

[S0 What]

You "may" have swapped the cross gate selector for the Fr and Rr selector at the gearbox IE put the cables on the wronge way round.

Fit a 4 speed gear knob and turn it upside down

[paulette1585]

Does anyone know how you reset the gear linkages.

[WinstonWolf]

Subscribing

Sorry

[Spare tyre]

Take it back to the garage

[paulette1585]

I changed the clutch myself so sadly can't take it back. If any one can suggest any tips to adjust the linkage I would appreciate it very much

[danjama]

Better start taking it apart again

Sorry though, i know this feeling

I once accidentally replaced the gear linkage with the handle from my trolley jack. Had to drive all the way back to the garage in reverse. The mechanic said it is a common mistake. Good luck mate.

Do you think that maybe you're not cut out to do home mechanics?

[eldar]

Take the engine out again, and put it back the right way round.

Sorry, but obvious troll is obvious.

After the nonsense of whipping everyone into a frenzy with the "trolley jack wheel" - where does it go?

And now the gears are back to front?

If you are capable of actually changing a clutch yourself "Paulette" then you wouldn't be asking these bizarre questions.

Just joined PH today, eh?
