You sir, are a bloody legend! I just broke down with this problem at the side of a busy dual carriageway. While waiting for the tow truck I found your video, and now I'm home drinking a cold beer. I owe you a pint!!!

you're a life saver mate. got stuck in third in a busy french town. with your help we got out. thanks a million, saved me a lot of stress and an expensive bill!

Thank you!!!!!! Thought my gearbox was gone, saved me over £800 and did myself in seconds! Absolute top man and legend 👍

Thank you so much for this video - saved us paying for roadside assistance and meant we could be on our way in no time after initially thinking it was a serious problem. Legend!

Super glad i found your video, This happened to me about 3 mile from home it was stuck in 1st, Thankfully managed to get it back home on the drive, Rung the mechanic who couldn't look at the van for nearly 2 weeks, have just been out to van and sorted it in about 1 minute thanks to your video, Spot on pal has saved me 2 weeks of lost work and money, Thanks again

Awesome video. This happened to my Renault Traffic after a long day at a hillclimb. About to book it into a garage, did a search, found your video first and fixed in 30 seconds! Going to order a Matlock clip tomorrow for my van and the Movano horsebox too!

This just happened to me on a cold dark night , google sent me straight to your vid and i was back on route in 5 minutes. You are a legend thanks

Just wanted to say a massive thank you. First day back to work after Xmas and on the way home gearstick went dead and stayed stuck in 2nd gear. Managed to get home. Thought is was going to be an expensive repair, so Googled the problem. Watched your video and just sorted it out, was easier than I thought it was going to be. Will see how it goes but if it comes off again will order one of the gear linkage connectors. Really grateful for you to have taken the time and effort in posting this video.

Thank you so much for this video. Stranded in a car park and 5 minutes later I was back on the road. Top bloke!!

Thanks for the video, was stuck on a junction panicking and googled the problem and you’re video came up and saved the day.

great video, i was completely stressed at the thought of being off the road for weeks and not being able to work and possibly buying a new van in a panic 2mins after watching this all sored thanks very much

Thankyou! You've just saved our Easter trip plans which we'd cancelled. You're amazing! Chrissie and Mike XX

Thank you for this! I managed to fix my van while on the long wait for the AA. So happy. Drove to my mechanic where we checked it together and drove home happy.

You've only gone and done it again. Thought the van was knackered, my 5 year old son and I managed to fix it in about 10 minutes. I owe you one.

You saved my bacon today buddy on the way to see clients , your video enabled me to go straight to the cable on top of the gearbox and I was back in business , just had to sit down tonight back at home and write a thank you message!!! Legend / lifesaver!!! Clever lad

THANK YOU!! You just saved me a lot of money, time, headache and what not, was stuck in 6th gear, you are my best friend today, big thanks from Sweden

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! Dude !!! I just found your video after breaking down. And your instruction was spot on. All working again and just drove home. Massive respect and big thanks, and I learned something nee about my old van. 💪🏻🙏🏻👌🏻

Thank you sir! Thought I was in for an expensive new gear box and recovery, found this video now on way home 👍

Just broke down, spoke to four garages , not one mentioned this , what a geezer , sorted in 2 minutes

I've just driven home along the back roads 30 miles stuck in 3rd gear, watched your video and 2 minutes later it's fixed. Thanks mate, I really appreciate your tips for sorting this problem!

Thank you very much! You saved our road trip from Finland To Latvia. I managed to temporarily fix the linkage with a zip tie because it does not attached anymore to the gearbox arm.

Mine came off last night in the dark, it was that cold I was glad to be putting my hands under the bonnet. 10 seconds and I'd located the problem and reconnected it. All thanks to you!

Amazing. Sent on a detour by police into the backwoods of Sufflok and got stuck in 2nd gear. Exactly the same as the chap below. Waiting for recover truck and I found your video on You Tube and I fixed it. God Bless you mate.

Another good man who is a mighty plus to humanity. Thank you very much for your short, concise and easy to apply instruction. May God bless you kind sir.

Absolute legend! You've just saved me from a 5 hour wait for recovery and who knows how much money! 👍👍 Double ups, thanks.

Hey man, thank you so much for your video, this saved us as we broke down on the side of the road because of this problem! We back on road after followed the instruction from this video! Brilliant and thanks millions!!

Pulled off M1 yesterday limped to my daughters place stuck in 2nd gear with another 150 miles to go (van loaded with tools) had a quick coffee with daughter, googled this vid. Had my coffee walked back to van fixed linkage by popping it back on then away! Cheers mate appreciated.. would never have sussed it out as offending joint obscured by pipes.

Great vid mate, thanks for posting. I was stranded, about to call a recovery lorry and, after watching your vid, two cable ties got me back on the road. Bought the matlock clip as others looked a bit fiddly with two pieces and not one. Once again, thanks for the vid mate.👍😎

Looking at the first few replies to your video I see there are plenty of us who thought we were in it deep, but you sir did us all a great service. I thank you so much. Ledge.

What a legend! Happened to me earlier on the M4, thought the gearbox was gone. Quick Google search this video was the first to pop up, fixed in 2min. I owe you a beer 🍺

Totally saved my life mate, was blocking a narrow road and this sorted it. Thanks very much

Thank you sooo much for uploading this video! Just broke down. Thinking that the gear box is knackered. But after this video i was driving in 5mins. Really appreciate it

Just bought a vivaro, got it home and this happened 😢 I think I can fix it now myself thanks to this video 😊😊😊

Saved over an hour jouney in 1st gear. Cheers for the great video

You are amazing, your video saved us in so complicated situation in the middle of nowhere! It's simply not enough to say thank you! You saved our trip, god bless you!

Thanks for the video. Drove about 3 miles in first gear with the hazards on to get the van to my house. Watched the video 10 minutes later problem solved. Going to order a clip. Top video top bloke👍👍👍

You my friend deserve a pint.. My wife broke down 1 mile from house, had to drive back home in 1st gear.. At least not far.. On to the old KZfaq.. And BANG.... you sorted it... Cheers pal.. You've no idea how much this helped esp on Christmas week... Fortune saved... The next time your in N.IRELAND shout me up.. Big pint or 3 of Gunniess for you..

your amazing saved me being robbed from a garage 5 minutes of searching found your video and 30 seconds later van was fixed 👌 if your ever in grimsby ill buy you a few pints as a thanks 👍

Just the fix!! So easy, thanks very much!! Just happened to me and thought I would need to be towed away. Super video!!! :)

Life saver video I was stuck in the evening traffic in the central London driven in 4th gear in full traffic 9 miles with plenty of traffic signals this video solved my problem in the seconds 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank u so much

Thanks, my renault trafic gear stick went loose on the way to the vets with my kitten. Lucky I was near a local garage. Once I got home, I went on the web trawling to identify what was wrong. Found your video and it seemed to explain exactly what the issue was and how to fix it. Woke up this morning and I was going to get the garage to fix it, they were shut when I got there. I thought might as well phone the breakdown cover I have, but then I thought I should have a look myself. Point of note, I have zero mechanical skills but I recalled your video in my mind and the big surprise I sorted my van out in 2 minutes. I also ordered the part you mentioned. I love KZfaq and thanks for your help. Regards Baz

Great video. You save me a trip to the garage, which I expected it to be an expensive one. I watch your video and it turned out I had the same problem. I was able to fix it mayself. So thank you for posting the Video .

This happened to me today !! Thought I was going to have to phone a recovery truck but thought i would have a look on KZfaq and bingo ur vid was the first one. Popped it back in and off I went. Came back out a few times when I was driving but just kept popping in back in till I could get some zip ties.
