Hi all. I’m having trouble with my ford bmax. Sometimes out of nowhere I will be driving and suddenly I can’t shift into any gear, meaning I’m stuck in neutral. What I’ve found helps is turning off the car for a min or less and then it works for a bit and malfunction again. This can go on for a few cycles and then the issue seems to resolve itself. I took it in, but the mechanic was like: it’s working fine you have to bring it in when it does it which I haven’t been able to do. Has anyone had a similar issue?
That's a new one on me. I've been on this forum for 6 yrs now, don't think anyone else has reported a problem with a manual gearbox. Plenty on the auto / powershift though.
really need to know what engine & gearbox, petrol 1l, (even to 100 vs 125 - or 140) make a difference, or petrol, 1.4 or 1.6, manual or auto or perhaps diesel...
but general advice would be disconnect the battery overnight, and give it a charge. then reconnect it and drive at least 10 miles.
ps if you have an auto, stuck in park, there is a procedure in the owners handbook as to how to release it.
I'm having a similar issue with my B-Max (won't come out of gear sometimes, then have to totally release the clutch before I can proceed). Today and last Monday, it lost power and stalled on approach to roundabout/traffic lights. Garage had it in last Thursday, couldn't replicate or find anything wrong. Did you resolve this? Thanks
Currently having the same problem. Only when it has been driving for a little while therefore warmed up. Sometimes it will get stuck in one gear and can't get it out and usually when this happens the clutch won't come up? Got it booked in for a new gearbox next week but they are not sure if this will fix the problem. Finally it did it when the mechanic was driving, so he could see the problem first hand.
I had the clutch replaced and there was a leak letting out ?clutch oil? that also needed sorting. Has been perfect ever since (think the previous owner was mean to the clutch, as I am certainly not!!). Good luck!
Thank you it just does it randomly, but getting more frequent like Ince or twice a month. I will get it booked into the garage. 👍
