... which makes it a bit of a bugger for the wife to learn to drive in it!

All gears are working, but i think whatever mechanism you pull up to select reverse has snapped, as there's nothing to stop reverse being selected (fun at junctions Shocked )

I've pulled the gearstick boot out of the way and the cable still goes down the front of the stick, but i haven't got under it to see whats busted.

Is this a big job? Or just a matter of popping something back into place (i'm guesing something has snapped myself, but i'll be hapy if i'm wrong Smile)

cheers

steve

ps, hello retro renault Very Happy

its out of alignemnt.

Re-adjust it.

To do this get under loosen the piunch bolt and rotate the bar a bit.

The cable etc is not the problem only the adjustment.

Brilliant cheers, that sorted it, lot easier than expected (apart from 1st time i did it, i didn't bother checking and found myself without reverse:))

Not bad then, L-reg Clio 1.2 in nearly mint condition, new tyres, new back box, needed 40 quid of work for the MOT, only paid £100 for the car cos the bloke thought the gearbox was on the way out Very Happy
