got problem with my 99 2.5 diesel transit smiley van.drove it one day no problem now cant select a gear when engine running gets a bit easier the further i travel but as soon as i stop cant engage first gear and have to switch engine off to select first gear likewise with reverse.has started to creep now in first gear as if the clutch is always engaged ?
