Hello,
I had a problem today in my 5 speed EB2 I was in 5th gear at 90km/h, went to put it in 4th & there was nothing there. It wasn't going into ANY gear at all. I pulled over to the side of the road, stopped, gave it a shake to get something & when I put my foot off the clutch it stalled so I must have been in something. I've owned the car for 6 years, & now it's done 270K apart from firewall problems in the past generally very reliable. Could it be a problem with the clutch? or maybe a something worse. Any feedback would be great. Cheers.

Could be lots of things.
Is it the first time it's happened? Is the clutch properly adjusted? |

can you get it into 4th now ? 270 k's if it's the original box, probly be due for a rebuild, or was it still smooth and tight. If so i'd be looking at the clutch.
not much help, sorry. |

Happened on Tuesday as well. Seems to only happen when it's at least 32C. All gears smooth except 5th starting to crunch a little.

The oil I'm using is Shell Helix Plus 15W-50.
I changed it about 2,000 kms ago. Is there a better oil anyone would recommend other then Shell. Many thanks.

Yeah good point. It was serviced about 8000 kms ago by Shell.
A stupid question but where do I check the g/box oil?

Drivers side, feel about 1/2 way up the box you'll find 2 plugs ones a drain (The lower one).
the higher one is the fill point/level.

Thanks for that. Do I need to put the car up on ramps to do it, like dumping the oil?
