Your car will be a 210026 nothing really listed other than transmission sticks in 1st gear and that could be the Centrifugal governor.

Another is KS clutch leaky or gasket damaged, this is a gearbox out job.

I think it is going to be a job for a gearbox re builder. Where are you located .

Could be right there, but what about a diagnostic test first?

Just to throw something into the mix, what if the selector unit is full of hot chocolate and fluff, and when in D, thinks its in 1?

Might be worth a check before spending big money. Just a thought.

Hi Parrot, trouble here is that 1 is a long way from D and its OK when its warm.

the Box will have to be read cold and running, if anything will come out of diagnosis
