Hi Darren, After all the expert advice from other garages and no one willing to say how to resolve the problem of no gear selection in 1st to 4th gear, we decided if the Astra was going to go anywhere else, then DJ Transmissions new what happened before and clearly had the experience to fix the cars problems. We brought the Astra to you and the next day we were amazed but pleased to hear from you that gearbox had been removed and selectors replaced due to unexplained dramatic wearing of the first gear selector fork. Still keep looking at the worn selector fork. The Astra has now been back 2 weeks and Jenna has had the use of it without slightest problem. You knew you had fixed it , we were a little uncertain because of other earlier expert advices. So congratulations from us with our gratitude for giving such honest advice, prompt service and sensible costs. Thank you Kelvin Tarry
Hi Daren, Thank you for your advice yesterday on the phone, when we talked through the problem of selector or gearbox problem with not being able to select any gears other than 5th gear. Having decided to bring Astra over to you, I spoke to local garage to OK my collecting it etc. and he agreed then late in the afternoon to quickly have a look at the selectors. At first could not see a problem but then noticed couple of selectors stuck together, released them easily and road tested Ok. You were correct with the cause of the problem and that it should be fixed economically. Both my daughter and I want to say thank you for your help, we now have your contact number and you will be top of the list in future should we have need of your skills. Although Jenna is now pleased to get her car back with no big repair bill, we are both still thinking about this local garage who even though he fixed the problem, had only two days earlier told my daughter to find a second hand gearbox and even provided her with two breakers yard numbers to buy a gearbox ? Could talk all day about these stories, thank you again. Best Wishes Kelvin Tarry read more
