Hi looking for a bit of help, i have a 00 opel combo and a few days ago i started to having a probem shifting in to reverse it was making a grinding sound and was a bit sticky shifting in to second gear, then this morning my clutch cable snapped as i was about to leave the driveway. Could the frayed clutch cable have been causing the issue selecting gears or am i looking at having to get the gear box replaced??
thanks in advance for any advise that can be offered.
