You should also check the linkage cable, the lock screws are prone to coming loose and slipping.

 

Thanks Guys

 

Could somebody help me with this question please..?.I'm about to buy a 2001 s type v6,the seller told me to select the car in drive,you 1st have to select 4th gear in the manual gear,then drive..to get it moving.. Is this a common fault,ie,stretched cable,sensor, or low on fluid, ie,does the gearbox need flushing and refilling with new fluid.. Many thanks for any help,Nick..

 

No it does not and don't buy that car!

Yeah Nick that problem sounds pretty odd I'd stay away from it

 

Run away.... FAST!!! (could be a stretched cable or worse...) Unless you want to spend anywhere from $300 to $3,000+ for a replacement transmission...
