Fiat ducato 1986 mk1 5th gear

[kevinarbury]

So my wife and I are touring around Europe in our mk1 1986 fiat ducato and all is well....until the other day when I tried to put it into 5th gear it didn't seem to quite engage properly and made and strange rumbling noise and shuddering feeling. I knocked it back into 4th then tried 5th again, problem solved.

This has happened a few times since.

Any ideas what's going on????

I spoke to a guy back in UK and he thought it sounds like the nut holding 5th gear place is loose so not aligning properly. We return to UK on March 5th so I guess I'll have to take it to a gearbox specialist????

Once it's in 5th it's OK.


Annoying..

Any ideas????

Cheers in advance,

Kevin

Nooope. Have you checked your wife's employment contract?

Thanks for the help.

Is the car employed or self-employed? It makes a difference.

OK I'll explain. Why is a query about a mechanical fault in a car posted in the "Jobs and Employment" forum?
