disappearing gears

[yossarian]

hello peeps, little help please...

had a problem on the way into work this morning where my gears dissapeared.

i was in 3rd doing about 25mph, tried to change into 4th and 4th wasn't there... tried to change into 5th and it wasn't there either. I had to raise and lower the clutch before i could get it back into gear. its never happened before and its happened twice this morning...

have spoken to my dealer and they say they have never seen this problem before but i have booked it in for them to have a quick look over it. i had it in a few weeks ago to have the gearbox fixed with regards to some recall and a dodgy clip.

any thoughts or comments welcome...

thx

Sounds like a linkage problem, perhaps to do with that recall. I'm not a big believer in coincidence when something breaks soon after it was serviced

Is it a MC or MCS? Please let us know what the cause of your shifting problems. Thanks.
