Ok a mate has a 1997 2.0 (i think) petrol t4. 5spd manual. 217000kms
first problem, the engine seems to hunt and miss, idle is crap, every 5 seconds seems to almost stall then rev back up. acceleration is jerky.

second but main problem
gearbox lost reverse not long ago, and 1st and 2nd went to the position where reverse was, this lead me to assume that the linkages had gone wacky. sent to basic mechanics who lubricated something dont know didnt ask the friend precise details, and now the only gears available are 3rd and 4th. anywhere on the gear lever up is 3rd down is 4th.


See how you go with this one

Thanks
Tim
