Driving home from work on Tuesday, turned a corner and my gear box tightened up like a ducks **** in 4th gear. All the other gears work perfect except for 4th, Mototech had a look at it this morning and confirmed the bad news :(

Have booked it in to have replacement gearbox fitted along with a service and other odd jobs that I have put off.

130,000 miles on a 2001 Y reg so I know i cant really complain but is going to hurt the wallet none the less.

If I am honest I was going to get rid of it and upgrade to a 2.5 V6 because I have always wanted one but decided against it in the end. Maybe in the future.

Heres to the next 130,000 though :thumbs:

defo try the above, i had the same problem and was about to do the swarf removal but suddenly 4th came back for a few weeks but is gone again now, no way would i get a new gearbox fitted without trying that first. Also if it cures it, you can then sell it with the "Gearbox mod" done :thumbs: then get your 2.5. best of luck mate
