My understanding is that you can't get to 5th gear and trust me, I know nothing about gearboxes. I had 2 T5 boxes go and it was just as easy to fit a recon one.

As I say, I am no technician and can only go on memory (1 year without a Cossie) but think I can remember Harvey saying that 5th gear is a bitch to fix if you can fix it at all.

As I said, I might be wrong!! Surely somebody on here can be just a teeny bit better qualified to post than me?
