Well, collected an insurance Taxi from "Chief Rentals" yesterday while mine is off the road.
Strewth its a pig!
Tx2 2006 Manual. 86000miles indicated.
Will not engage any gear cleanly, no syncro...and sometimes, particularly at traffic lights, it just seizes up...you have to stop engine...put in gear and start engine; where upon it moves forward under starter motor till it gets underway. Sometimes it sticks in 2nd or 3rd gears and will not be budged. Clutch seems OK other times...been told it could be a "sticky gearbox" due to not changing gearbox oil?

It only just earned its money tonight mainly through lucky distance jobs and nursing it.

Any ideas what it might be? I dread going through re licencing another if they replace it...but the way its going it will be no damn use anyway!
