Hello all.
My first post after a lot of lurking and soaking up experiences from people led to my purchase on Sunday of a beautiful dark green 1997 GTV twin spark. Been driving it and its just delightful. However, this evening I was reversing and when it came to engaing first there were no gears to be found...
There is a *tinkle tinkle* from the gearbox end under the bonnet when moving the gear lever fore and aft. Could this be a linkage that has popped off? The AA are coming to get it home after work tomorrow evening whne I am going to strip back the air intake and get a better look. Meanwhile, has anyone got a photo of this area on the top of the gearbox for me to puruse and consider until then? I've searched the forum and found no specfic posts like this, so obviously this isn't a 'model specfic', but more likely a rusty bracket broken through lack of oiling or summat. Any ideas?
Thanks chaps!
Tom.
