    Hi people im new to this site . Would any one be able to give me some idea whats wrong with my car lol .

    Its a saxo 1.1 expose 1998 s reg

    First problem when sometimes when im slowing down i can here a rubbing grinding sound from the gear box area and sometimes even when im stationary i can here it to .

    Second sometimes say if im in first gear and want to change to second it wont engage unless i put it back in first take it out again then into 2nd ?

    Third one When im reversing and then slow down the engine sort of bumps . but its ok forwards ..

    Last one now and again i wil be going to reverse i will have my clutch at normal height but nothing happens unless i give it some on the acclerator then it bites shoots back and is fine ?

    If any one can help big thank u

    Hi Mark,

    Sounds like possibly two things:

    1) Clutch is wearing
    2) Gearbox linkages need to be checked and replaced if necessary.
