My 75 just had a 'moment'

Ringer · 3rd June 2012, 16:54

I was turning the car in the drive and went from 'R' to 'D'.

Nothing happened

Moved the stick for the autobox around again and it went in and drove fine

Should I be worried

My ZTT did that a few times when I first bought it.

It has not done it for ages so have forgotten about it. I think I sprayed inside the rubber boot on the end of the cable by the gearbox when I was changing the engine oil, while the under tray was off. Not done it since.........

Perhaps a sticking cable
