Hi,i have a ford transit 350 lwb td x reg 51 the gear kept locking?

with it being a 51 plate i take it its the newer shape transit, if so under the van where your gearstick comes through there should be a box with two cables going into it, these are known for stretching over a period of time time causing the exact same problem you have stated, you could try adjusting them yourself of have ford put new ones on, its not a big job so shouldnt be too expensive

I'm not too sure what is going on here, but I imagine that the clutch is the problem, rather than the gearbox? The mechanic should change the pressure plate, friction plate and thrust bearing to do a proper job - and clean the gearbox input shaft thoroughly before putting it back together.
