The fault
How you spot it
In the 5MX65 five-speed manual an internal defect can mean that first gear or reverse will not engage: the lever goes across but the gear does not take, or the lever will not move that way at all.
The defect is inside the gearbox, so the repair means removing and opening the unit.

How we know
Information, not an expert opinion
We write the descriptions, and we put the source next to them. A person reviews them before they go out. They are still information, not a technical expert opinion.
- A fault on the list does not mean the car you are looking at has it.
- A fault missing from the list does not mean the model is fault-free. Write-ups are made model by model. Not all of them are done.
- You decide whether to buy. This is no substitute for an inspection. That needs a workshop and a history check.
