Gearbox Fails to Engage?
On first start of the day when I select reverse with the gear stick / (shift for our US friends) the gearbox occasionally fails to select the gear. I find I have to select Drive then reselect Reverse.
Anyone else had this problem? I have done a forum search but can't find a thread on this. |

I've not had that problem or read of others, but since this is all controlled essentially with switches and computers, it sounds like the switch is either out of adjustment, or going bad. I don't think the shift lever is actually connected to anything other than the switches and the computer controls the transmission based on where it (thinks) the lever is. If that's not being read properly, this could easily happen.
