π¨π GRINDING INTO GEAR? This Transit Custom was telling its owner something wasnβt right! βοΈπ¬
This Ford Transit Custom came into All Trans after the customer reported grinding and difficulty selecting gears, particularly 2nd.
Jon got straight onto the investigation, road testing the van to experience the fault himself before carrying out further checks. ππ§
The gear selector and cables were operating correctly, but further investigation pointed towards an internal gearbox failure affecting 2nd gear and the synchro.
With the fault diagnosed, we gave the customer a price for the repair. They were happy to go ahead, so it was over to Tony! πͺ
While the van was with us, the customer also decided to have the wet belt replaced as it was due, giving them that extra peace of mind for the future. π
