LDV Maxus.... no 3rd or 4th gear?

[jm1489]

Hi all!
My newly acquired 06 low mileage Maxus has no 3rd or 4th gear. The clutch is good, replaced slave and master cylinder.... 1st, 2nd, 5th and reverse engage with no problems or dragging. I have replaced a worn gear linkage bush and reset the cables on the gearbox. There are no crunching or nasty noises from the gearbox or clutch... nothing happens when selecting with the gear stick? Any ideas? Ta much.

It's a Daewoo gearbox. I am going to strip the dash tomorrow and check the dash mounted gearstick support bracket and bushes. Gearbox fluid change is on the cards anyway but I am still hoping it's a selector/linkage issue.

It looks like a selector fork has broken? When you change to 3rd or 4th there is nothing... no crunching ...no feeling that it's jamming... nothing other than pushing against the rubber stop on the gear stick mechanism, I have done an alignment on the mechanism and the clutch is good. Replacement gearbox is now on the shopping list
