- 313 Sprinter 2010
Hi all,
Having problems changing gears in my Sprinter 2010 313 CDI.
They are all a bit grindy but going down into second is a right bugger, really have to jam it in. Reverse and 1st are not quite as bad but still pretty rubbish.
So far changed the oil and made it a bit better. Next on the list as advised by EVERYONE is change gear lever cables but didnt want to spend £100 without knowing for sure.
Had a look under where the cables hit the gear box and I found that there was a bit of play:
The plastic bit literally just comes right off and the arm its attached to is really wobbly.
Also this arm was not the easiest to shift and was quite clunky:
Is this is normal behaviour or have I located the problems?
NB. I have been trying to find a diagram/ parts list to find out what these bits are called and havent really got anywhere. If anyone has a link that would be great.
