Stephen154 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 I took m car to the local garage as i have a very bad vibration in the 5th gear as i coast down from 55 to 40.When i place my hand on the gear stick it stops but you feel it through the stick, when you dont have your hand on the stick it makes a right racket.Now the dealer told me to change down a gear after there test drive but i am unsure as i have had loads of cars that drive at 40 in fifth.has anyone else had this problem?57 reg 2.0 tdci zetec its done 56660 miles still just in warranty. Also get alot of black smoke when you accelerate quickly any help? Quote

Saif Rehman Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) This car should be able to go into fifth (or even sixth) gear at 40mph with no problem whatsoever. As you state that it's still under warranty then if i was you i would take it back to the dealer and ask - no insist that they rectify the fault. Edited October 11, 2009 by Saif Rehman Quote
