Ford Ka Gearbox Fault? Everyone Got It Wrong!

This 2013 Ford Ka has had gear selection problems for years. We've adjusted the gear linkage, bled the clutch and tried everything we could think of. The problem would disappear... then come straight back. Eventually it broke down completely and even the AA couldn't find the fault. Everyone online seemed convinced the gearbox had failed, but I wasn't convinced. In this episode I diagnose the problem, strip everything down and discover the real cause. In Part 2 we'll fit the new parts and see if this cheap first car is finally fixed.

Although this repair is on a 2013 Ford Ka, many of the same gearbox and gear selector cable issues can also affect the equivalent Fiat 500, as they share many components. 👍 Like the video if it helped. 💬 Have you ever been told you needed a gearbox when it turned out to be something much cheaper? #fordka #gearbox #carrepair #mechanic #diymechanic
