Hi all,
I have a couple of issues with reverse gear on my i30. It's the manual, 5 speed transmission, '07 model i30.
Issue 1: Occasionally when I put the car into reverse all appears fine, until I go to move away and my ears are treated to a horrendous screeching sound. Putting it into neutral, then putting it back into reverse solves it.
Issue 2: Occasionally after reversing (and coming to a stop - not rolling), I put the car into 'first' only to find that I am actually back in reverse. The gear stick has a ring pull to select reverse gear, which I am not pulling up.
Has anyone here come across something like this before or have any ideas what might be going on? Specifically, I am more concerned about the second issue, because I can't trust the damn thing to be in the right gear!
Thanks
