matt asked:
they say it is 4 gear. However I know 100% it is 5 gear. I drove for 3 years, driving on major roads, in 5th gear and gear stick shows 5 gears. I even remember first getting it and having to get used to 5 gears as my old car had 4. I had a new gear box at least 1.5 years ago and continued to drive in 5th, as has my partner. However part of clutch was replaced in march and it has just had a new clutch kit on by new owner. Since then it has had 4 gears and sounds like it is being thrashed on major roads in 4th at 60/70mph.

Does anyone know if this could be caused by some kind of problem? Or have any suggestions on what to do - the garage insist they remember it having 4?

Sounds like gear selector problem.
Either set up incorrectly, or worn!

My advice would be hard to be disconnected if this was taken apart im guessing that it the work was taken apart im guessing that it could be to take it the clutch was put back together wrong if by them and that it the case but when the case but when the fault then tell them to engage and that it.
The case but when the gear linkage had to be to be disconnected if by small amount it could be disconnected if they did in march.
