Re: Triumph 1300 FWD won't change down through gears unless stationary

Thanks for the replies, yes the engine and gearbox mounts look ok. Maybe I should just go for a new clutch then? Yesterday I tried to drive the car again and change down gear, I have found it will change down if you don't use the clutch and push the gearstick and wait, it will then drop into gear.

Good afternoon, I have a 1969 Triumph 1300 that will change up through the 4 speed gearbox but will not change down, even with matching revs/ double de clutching.
