BBalleLupo Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hi I’ve recently got a 1.4 16v lupo E and the gears don’t seem to want to go into reverse instead it shifts into 1st? I’ve been told this may be the gear cables need adjusting but I’m unsure if Thai is correct and how to get to it and I don’t want to take it in to the garage.

ObjectiveAway Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Your shifter bushings are worn out, especially Number 11, but if you already disassemble the shifter, replace at least 9,14,29 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Yes, if the other gears work, then it needs adjusting- easy! Common problem. Loosen nut 65 and slide bolt 63 up by about 2mm. The bolt is in a slot, perfect for adjusting. Tighten and try it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObjectiveAway Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 I agree adjusting can help, but No11 is made from some kind of a soft plastic, therefore usually rips apart and fells off, without buahing No 11 there is a lot of freeplay when you move shifter sideways. I recommend to pull up shifter boot and take a look if there is or is no freeplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, You already removed anything needed for replacement. Saldly I can not see it from this angle. Its under the part that holds the beige plastic center part. Everything looks fresh, is there a lot freeplay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
