Hi All,
I had a problem at lunch time with the gears, being unable to select 2nd or 3rd, so I looked at the posts on the forum.
I figured I Just needed to change the gearbox oil then all would be well.
Then, on the way home, I was accelerating slowly in 2nd gear then there was a bit of a bang. I pulled over to the Hard Shoulder but all seemed well so off I went.
When I got upto 5th gear it wasnt there! pressing the clutch and moving the stick where the same as usual but when I accelerated there was no resistance and the engine just reved up.
A local garage told me this problem sounds like a Syncro-mesh issue and recomended taking it to R£nault.
Any Ideas how much this will cost? Also is this a simple syncro mesh replacement, or a new gearbox? Im not too sure what is involved here!
