bton_nick Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Hi,I hope someone can give me some guidance. I’ve recently purchased a used citroen c4 grand picasso 2007 plate, privately. When driving home, I noticed that it was extremely hard to pull the gear stick from 5th gear, to any other gear. I seem to have to wiggle the stick left and right a few times (from 5th) before it will find centre to choose the next gear. This work-around is OK, however I’m concerned there is an underlying issue and doubt my Mrs will not be happy driving it when she needs to use the car (although that might not be a bad thing :) ). All other gears are fine to engage/disengage and the clutch doesn’t seem too worn, so I can only assume it can be the gearbox????A friend of mine said that it could be a spring that has gone on the gearbox, however, he’s not a expert.I can’t find a similar issues answered on other forums so hopefully I could get some advice….Thanks in advance for your help.Nick Quote
