Welcome,

 

Unless you have a VERY unusual car, you have a 6 speed manual... Smile

 

Enjoy the site,

 

Jay

Haha, edit 6 speed g44 getrag unit shifting reliably through 5 gears with a poorly engaging 6th gear.

It could be something simple, like a broken bushing at the bottom of the shift lever (very common problem).

 

Regards,

Welcome! I am curious about the name. I saw those letters tattooed between a lot of knuckles in prison, along with BTL.

No worries, thought our paths might have crossed at some point. Again, welcome to the group. Take a look at the new owners/new members thread when you have a chance, lots of important information there.
