Not getting into 4th gear

Post by **JuliaBee** » Thu Jan 01, 1970 1:00 am

Hi Folks, my 1968 saloon is not getting into 4th gear and I gather this is likely to mean having a whole new gearbox fitted. I am on limited financial means and wondered if any of you could recommend someone in the Coventry area who could do this at a reasonable rate?

When this happened to me it was due to the front bearing cage breaking up and a small piece of metal getting caught in the gearbox selector mechanism. All that was needed was a new front bearing in the gearbox. However you still need to take the gearbox apart.
If your gearbox was OK before and this happened suddenly it may not require a whole new gearbox and a transmission specialist should be able to repair it for a lot less.
