I doubt it needs adjusting ... theres nothing to adjust really.

Jurgen, if you have a gearbox specialist in your area they can probably deal with the problem for you. The wife hade the same thing wrong with her gearbox back when she had her Mx5. They stripped it down and replaced the faulty parts ran fine after that. Check your yellow pages there maybe be a company who can advice you, hth cheers Leigh.

Surely a used gearbox from Jimmys would be cheaper and less hassle?
