foreigner 0 Posted April 18, 2007 I got quicks*it fitted as mentinoned in my other thread. When I was swapping lever on the box for one to fit quickshift the lever shaft went slightly into gearbox. Could this cause some internal change in box to not be able to select reverse gear in. Or should I just play with rods to see if it heals? Guys any help ?

allanallen 528 2 Cars Posted April 19, 2007 Could this cause some internal change in box to not be able to select reverse gear in. yes, you've probably lost fifth aswell. i swapped my box when i did this but i'm sure you can fix it, sure someone can spread some light on it.

foreigner 0 Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) SORTED. I got piss*d off, took angle grinder to my other box. cut half of it off. straighten it, drilled three holes and bolted that terrible thing together, i'll see if it works, it should.
