Cannot Change Gear, Only Move The Stick Back And Forth..

[Anton green 12 1 Cars]

Im going to try sort this tomorrow so that Im ready for the new year and work. I can move the gearstick backwards and forwards, but the car is stuck in 1st gear. The gearstick wont move side to side.

 

Can someone give me a pointer as to what needs to be done? Would I need to buy bits, or will it be a case of popping a rod back on maybe?? Is that possible?

 

Cheers all

Probably just the rod has popped off between the gearbox and pivot on the subframe (look under the exhaust manifold). Very common fault if the linkages are all original.

 

Popping it back on will get you up and running again, but chances are that it'll reoccur as the cup on the linkage will be worn - a new rod from Peugeot is less than a tenner.

popped it back on! got me home a treat.. and that'll do nicely /\

 

 

either that or a quickshift, might do a home-build.
