Thanks h701, gives me a benchmark! Gearbox apart, found bearing and flecks of metal: Great :)

The k10's 5 speeder is now out. No metal came out when i dropped the oil from the box - not a sausage. Plan on taking a look inside tonight. If i can source another 5 speeder from a k10 or pre 98 K11 - roughly how much should i expect to pay at a breakers?

I've done a bit of digging around on the forum, and it seems that the 'box on the k11 was used pre '98. After this date, the driveshaft splines were a larger size and a different flywheel was used i believe. So i might be in luck there, having difficulty locating the k10 5 speeders :( In terms...

Hi all, Been involved with my other car (ae86) recently. Now back focussing on the Micra, as unfortunately it now has no gears! Gearstick stuck in neutral position, and feels like it is in gear when i push the car. Cannot shift into any gear. Now convinced/forced to invest a bit more time and...

Hey Provo, H701micra Update, now sticks in 4th also :( - and now a three gear only Micra, 1st, 2nd and 5th! I think the problem is worse when the car is in motion, so when transmission in moving. It seems that now when the car is stationary and idling, or when engine is off it shifts into...

Without engine running, can shift in and out of 3rd no problem and sounds fine. To my understanding, it seems like a bit of a weird problem. I would've thought that it would be more likely to be a problem going into gear, not out. You're right though Provo, it ain't sounding too good!

I believe the gearbox oil was replaced with the clutch about 5k ago. Checked level of gearbox oil (what a plonker - theres an oil high/low level indicator sticker on the top of the gearbox so its super easy to check yourself). Oil level fine, oil quality seems fine. Perhaps theres an internal...

Ok, so ruling out easiest things first. Removed rubber and interior plastic surround to gear stick - everything nice and tight, no loose rubbers or bolts there. But think this suggestion may have been for a auto box. Next up, oil level. Thinking about it, if it were the oil level being too low...

Provo , H701Micra - Thats right it is the 5 speed version. Cheers Enuo and Provo, i will look into both of your suggestions and report back.

Nice one Provo - thanks for your help mate.

The Micra's unhappy at the moment! Not long into a journey today, my K10 started sticking in third gear for some reason. I can lift the clutch pedal back up and try the gear change again - second or third attempt and she'll change into fourth. Shifting into third is fine. Just shifting out...

It is an F reg '89.

No noticeable difference starting the car, but the unknown cable is now plugged in - thanks for the advise!

Ideal! That might explain the hesitation she's had in firing up. I'll have a look at this tonight. Thanks

Hi all, Looking for a bit of guidance on a cable in my engine bay that is unplugged. Looks like it comes out of the coil and has a small silver capacitor on it. The black cable with red stripe, pictured.
