Hey all,
Just back from a spin with the wife and the little fella.
Unfortunately we returned in a truck with the mini on the flat bed.
Reversed up a hill and afterwards the gear stick wouldn't drop back down
For me to get it into 1st.
The only gear I can get is reverse.
It will reverse without any problems.
The gearbox has always been fine and never grinds or anything.
While trying to troubleshoot, reverse started to pop out of gear and make a grinding noise.
I suspect it was popping half out, being between neutral and reverse, hence a little grinding noise.
Anybody have any ideas?
Anybody have anything similar?
Could I have broken a gear selector/linkage as opposed to the gearbox in general?
She's a 2000 Mini Cooper mpi.
Cheers
John
