Hey guys,
So I was driving to Newcastle the other day and after being on the F3 for about an hour I lost 4th gear. I found that when going down a hill it would sit in 4th so long as I kept my foot off the accelerator, but on the flats it wouldn't hold 4th. For instance came to the bottom of a hill doing about 90 @1500revs, soon as I touched the accelerator it revved through to 2500 and clicked into 3rd gear. Once I got there I left it overnight and it was fine again, so it only seems to do it when it warms up and runs for a few hours, as it did it on the way back too.
Any ideas what it might be? I'm going to get the gearbox serviced soon anyway, along with a general service, but I was wondering if anyone might have clue as to what it is?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.
