Question

Hi I have a Volvo V40 1999. My problem is that I have difficulty in selecting reverse gear. After several clunks I can feel the gear slide into place and it reverses like a dream. It's selecting the reverse gear. I have had the nylon bush replaced 2 years ago. That's the "white bush underneath the gear selector. Can you advise please?

Answer

If This is a standard transmission then it could be a couple of things. First could be time for a new clutch reverse gear always needs more clearance.I dont think the nylon pushings would wear out in 2yrs but maybe something else in shift linkage. I would also have the oil in transmission check in case it is low. If none of this helps then more than likely it is internal.Most likely sincro for reverse gear. I hope this helps.
thanks
