hi all. me again
my 2cv has developed a section prob
when selecting reverse and first--theres much more play on the gear lever inside than their used to be-in and out- when in neutral
its difficult to select any of those 2 gears-- 3 and 4 ok
when selecting reverse it selects a foward gear mostly
getting first is difficult as the gear stick comes out from reverse as it should but it jams up and wont go into first(bit unerving with a rangerover behind)
the rubber bushes on top of the underbonnet gearbox "stick" are ok
there arn,t any untoward noises
don,t know if anyone can thow any light on the prob
cheers

Make sure the lever is properly clamped onto the splined bit on the gearbox. I've had them come undone before and it gives similar symptoms.

I'll check that right away russell
thanks

thanks russell! that was the exact problem all,s good now
