Hi all i have a fiat stilo 1.9jtd on 53 plate manual 5 speed the gearbox has locked in 4th gear and cannot be put into nutrual or any other gear for that matter! with the engine running or stopped has anyone had the same sort of problem if so any suggestions on how to fix it would be very helpful thank you
There is no forth gear as such as that selection just locks the input and out put shafts together by a sliding dog if you can move the lever across the selection gate (sideways movement) but not forward or back to select a gear , you will have to pull the box for major repair indicates that a shift rail is not in a neutral position or what I suspect , the spigot bearing in the end of the input shaft has seized up and locked the shafts together
