Gear selector problem

Post by Merlot man » Sun Jul 15, 2018 1:56 pm

Hello,all
I've an intermittent problem where on occasion when I try and start the bus nothing happens , to "cure " it I take the gear selector out of park into one of the other positions then back into park and the bus will start as normal .
I don't mind doing this but I'm afraid that some day the bus just won't start and I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere .......and of course I'm late :evil:
Has anyone an idea as to what might be causing this ? [-o<
Thanks in advance
Brian

Sounds like the gearbox inhibitor switch - here's a recent thread on this problem:
