Hi,hi ive just bought a mgf , the reverse gear is very crunchy and sometimes quite stiff when first used, ive tried putting it into another gear first but this dosent always help. also i went for a long drive and it became harder ro select any of the gears(but not impossible) the next day the gears seemed fine on a short journey - is the problem old or a shortage of clutch fluid? the resovoir under the bonnet is half full -should it be topped right up to the top? please any help will be most appreciated:)
whats the best fluid to top it up with ? do i just unscrew the top and poor it in?
You got that right!The crunching into reverse is a common problem both my F and TF do it. I find the best way to avoid it, although not 100% accurate, is to go into neutral and then select reverse using a reasonably heavy handed action.
Being an MG, they like to embarrass you and tend to crunch into reverse when anyone is watching
