Hi(again) guys, having trouble with the gearbox.
Initially it occasionally would not go into second, now it just won't go into second, fourth or reverse. Fifth, well the stick won't move over that far so who knows.
I have tried to change gears when not running and it won't go in the bad gears, a google told me to try this first as it could be a snapped cable.
When I try to change the gears there is no grating or grinding, the stick just returns to neutral, reverse just stopped working yesterday, again it feels like it is gently being pushed back to neutral.
If it was a lack of fluid would a couple of gears still work?
Is it possible that a linkage might have disconnected?
I realize that it's hard to make a diagnosis from behind a screen with the shitty description but thought why not ask anyway.
If needed I can video it and put it on YouTube and post a link.
Cheers for any help, not much automotive open for the next couple of days.
Oh it's a 96 or 97 rav 4
