63 Ranger supercab gearbox problem

[Matthew Arnold]

Our 63 plate 2.2 ranger has developed a worrying gearbox problem. We can get reverse without lifting the collar on the gear stick up. It has only just crept past 7,000 miles so is not even worn in. Its booked in on Friday to be looked at on Saturday morning apparently a "stick could be wedged between the box and the bodywork". Only time will tell if it is a warranty job or not.

People managed just fine in the past without a stop to prevent you selecting reverse. It's called 'mechanical sysmpathy and not being a moron'...
