Hi all,
Car at dealers for gear selection investigation today.
Lead technician went through problem with me in the car agreed that selector setup was probably wrong and not a more serious gearbox fault causing 1st gear to baulk and sometimes inadvertently selecting reverse.
He could see the problem by moving the gear lever right and left from the neutral position and concluding that the lever was too far right i.e. too close to 5/6 position.
After 2 hrs picked up car gear selection now as it should be, easy selection of 1st gear with no baulking.
I`m a happy bunny.
Thanks for all your interest.
