Reverse gear hit and miss?
Hi guys,
Cars running sweet as ever, just wondering, as this is my first volvo, i'm not sure if this is right, but when i come to put it in reverse, sometimes it will go into gear the first time around, then sometimes it wont so i try again...and again..and again 4 or even 5 times, i've even tried an old trick that used to work on my previous vauxhall corsa, is to put the car into 1st, still holding down the clutch, lift the reverse lockout ring, and in one motion pull out of first and straight over to reverse.. this works though now and then this trouble of it not engaging reverse does still happen.....
Do the gear linkages need oiling/greasing? Also the clutch seems to be very snatchy and it needs a good rev before taking off at any stop, otherwise it feel like it wants to stall....then again, my corsa was a diesel
