Berlingo over reving when changing gear

[GraemeTinney]

Hi,

Looking for a bit of advice.... I have a 56 plate berlingo van 1.9 and the clutch sounds very heavy but it has been driving fine until yesterday, when I put the clutch pedal down to go into 3rd it’s l keep the he engine over revs and it jumps forward, anyone any ideas, thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum

I wish i could understand what you are saying? Are you sure its a 1.9 and not a 2.0hdi engine for a start?

I’ll explain better, I put it into third with the clutch still down and when I lift the clutch the revs go up and it jumps forward, it has been intermittent today. It’s defo 1.9 thanks

There could be a micro switch on the clutch pedal buy why its only happening in 3rd is a very odd one.

I wonder whether the gear selector linkage is worn and its not selecting 3rd correctly? That is the place i would start inspecting the gear linkage for play in the gears. How many miles has the vehicle done? Does it do anything strange other than this fault?
