Fifth gear - broady43 - 20-04-2012 09:21am
Does anyone else have problems trying to find fifth gear? I keep pushing the gear stick too far right because there is nothing to stop it.

Hi Broady, No Not a single fifth gear selection issue ever, and spend most of my time 4th, 5th or 6th... 2nd is a little notchy on selection when new, but not 5th, it always glides 4th to 5th smootly.
Do you hear/feel the small click at the gear stick as you are about to pull up to a halt, which I think is a solenoid that disengages the ability to select reverse at speed.

Havnt found a problem with 5th at all Broady. I do tend to go straight from 4th to 6th a lot but only because Im lazy.

It's on Channel 5, but not everyone can receive it.

I wonder if my solenoid is not working?,I will give it a check.

Not had a problem either.
The only problem i have with 5th gear is with the channel 5 programme -- its crap!
