A defect in the gear lever of the Dacia Sandero.

Model: Dacia Sandero B8 - Years 2012-2020
Part: Transmission

In this video we see a common problem with the gear lever of the Dacia Sandero: the lever is stiff and when we move it to the right and left it does not return to its position on its own. Dacia told us that the problem concerns the cables of the gear lever. So it is not a mechanical problem, but a problem related to the return spring of the cables. It is a problem that can happen, and it is also quite common. It is solved by changing the cables, of course it is not a problem that affects the proper functioning of the car and it is good to know, it is just a nuisance and not always the Dealerships have replacement parts available to do the work immediately.
