Gear Lever Cables

[KathWin]

Has anyone had gear lever cable problems on a Toyota Avensis Manual, have had to have mine changed when only driven 49,000 miles so feel not through 'wear and tear'

Any advice

Can you provide any more detail on why they were replaced? Were they stretched or snapped?

Is that 49k miles of motorway driving with hardly any gear changes, or 49k miles of going to the shops along country roads covered in grit and changing gears every few hundred yards?

I'm inclined to agree with you tho, it does seem a bit premature.

How old is the car?
