Hi
I have an old Vito campervan (1996) with an intermittent gear fault. Sometimes when you start the engine, after stalling, it clunks putting the gear stick into drive and then is clearly not going into 1st. When driving it then doesn’t go through the gears and feels as if it’s in 3rd all the time. Another time it works perfectly fine, going through all the gears. It will do the fault one time and then after switching off the engine and then re- starting it goes into the fault mode. We’ve had the gear box oil changed and the hydraulic block control unit changed (at the MB garage in Manchester) but fault remains. Any thoughts would be so welcome. ( could it be electrical and not a mechanical gear box problem?) Thanks
