SIIa first and reverse gear gone
In heavy traffic today my first gear started making a terrible knocking sound.
I managed to get off the motorway only to discover that reverse has the same problem. All other gears, including low ratio and the overdrive work fine.
I managed to limp home using low ratio instead of first…
So I'm guessing that the gearbox will need to come out. Any ideas as to what I'll find? Do you think the gearbox will be salvageable or should I start looking for a replacement?
