kickaha0884 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 I have a 1.0 02 lupo. gear 1 to 4 are fine. If I go into 5th gear under load there is no drive connection and it makes a sound like a tin can full of gravel. Any idea would be appreciated.

Skezza Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 5th has probably gone. Design defect (covered in a few threads on here) with all the 1.0 until the later models. New box, or our needs reconditioning. Sorry to break the bad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickaha0884 Posted July 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 That's OK. At least I know. Use it locally so will poodle around in 4th until I can get a new box. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 same issue in the 1.4 models too often linked to a leaking gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm correct in saying that when the fluid leaks slowly, 5th is starved of oil and therefore makes it more prone to breaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 and so far my attempts at sealing the leak have been a failure so it looks like my 2nd hand replacement needs fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
