frika Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hey.. I'm poorer than the poorest person in the whole of Ethiopia at the moment.. And just to make things better.. My gear box on my fiesta is about to die.. I was just wondering how much they are to replace or be repaired (if that's possible)..

JTM Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Are you DEFO sure its the gearbox mart? What are the symptons? If you can get one out yourself, they it shouldnt be THAT expensive to get one froma scrappy. But you wont know if that ones ok (can usually tell though).

Last night I couldn't get in gears 1 & 3.. So I had to pull away in 2nd gear then go straight to 4th! I went out today and it was just the 2nd gear that I couldn't get into.. Sigh.. Driving is far too expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 A shagged clutch can lead to selection of gears being gay.. Does the clutch pedal sit any higher than the brake? Also how far does it travel before biting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 My friends went not long ago but got ford to sort it.. He kept telling me how good the gear box was though and how short the throw on it was lol. "Was better than a TVR" Dont expect it to be cheap unless you get a 2nd hand one from a dumo (Y) Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Thats sounds more like the clutch to me. IB5 gearboxes dont really just go, unless you have been driving like a twat. What year is your fiesta? Test 1) Sit in your car, engine off, foot on clutch, can you access any gears? Then again with foot off clutch.

TomR Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I'd say its more likely to be the clutch if it wont let you select. look around some ford enthusiast forums for second hand parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
