Reverse gear problem
 

Hi everyone got my contemporary se but having a issue with the reverse gear jumping out before finally settling 😣hope someone can help.

Can you help me guys tell me what I could be facing? 😬

Any problem getting into other gears ? How is the clutch behaving ?

It is difficult to comment further with such limited information !

Hi thanks for getting back to me yeah All other gears fine just reverse jumps out bout normally 3 times have to push hard on it then it settles I guess.

Might be worth checking the gear selector cables are correctly seated in the brackets at the top rear of the gearbox.

Hi thanks for getting back to me 🙂 but I wouldn't have a clue where to look 😂 how would I look at it?

You really need to get under the car, and remove the undertray (make sure the car is securely supported on stands) - it is hard to see them from the top. Looking up towards the rear nearside of the engine, you will see two thick rubber cables that run from under the gearchange (under where the centre console is), into two brackets on the upper rear part of the gearbox. Check that the cables are seated fully down in the brackets, with the spring clips under the 'lugs' on top of the brackets. In the picture below, one of the cables is not quite fully seated in the bracket.

New clutch? Is it only reverse you're having problems with? Sounds a bit suspect...? Maybe, I'm wrong. :shrug: Worth getting a 2nd opinion...?
