manicmanda Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Can anyone help? My galaxy manual 16v 2001 model`s gearbox has been bit notchy but today i have had to really pusdh Hard to get down in reverse (at one point it wouldnt even shift) but managed to (with some well needed pressure, get it home safely!)Been told could be gearbox oil > so rang ford and they say gearbox oil is 75W 90 sythetic ( i thought that was JUST normal oil) > surely it doesnt take the same!! Any other help/suggestions which could be causing the reverse to stick would be greatly appreciated! Kind regards Quote
sparky Paul Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Can you select gears easily when the engine is switched off? The gearbox oil is a fully synthetic 75W-90, but would recommend buying exact spec. oil from dealer. Quote
