turtle33 Member 578 Member For: 19y 8m 10d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 19/02/06 04:49 PM Share Posted 19/02/06 04:49 PM tonight as I was reversing out of my driveway, I selected drive and a big clunk was felt/heard. I drove off and it felt like the hand brake was on. I turned around limped the 50 or so mtrs back to the garage. A call to ford assist tomorow and a tilt tray to denmac for a new gearbox me thinks. It was strange as its one of the very few times im not wringing its neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped the car completely, restarted and all was good - didn't think there was an issue with the T, just didn't start it properly if this helps.. \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
