Can anyone help?
I have a early T6 B and it won't go into first or third. Any suggestions? I've got new bushes cups etc. but was wandering if there was something I should do/check while changing it all.
AND is it a hard job? has anyone done it before and can give me some advice. I don't want to take the gear stick off and have a little spring shoot out hit me in the eye and I loose some vital setting that will cost me a months wages to have a specialist fix. if you know what I mean.
Next questions in the coming weeks are sticking rear drum, 12v conversions, bonnet catch sticking, exhaust fitting and 10001 other little jobs that I will bore you all with.
Now I've got the hang of this there is no stopping me!!! That's if you are any good and can help ( hopefully that has got the challenge going)

Can't select first or third

Has the gearstick base shifted forward slightly on its slotted mounts, or the rear tunnel linkage worn _really_ badly?
I had loads of problems getting the shift working correctly on my replica, mainly due to the alignment of the shortened (cut-and-welded) gear linkage rod. This was with 1st and 2nd, or Reverse as it was a side-to-side (rotational) problem. In the end I found a stock-type rear tunnel rubber linkage was fine, but the upgraded urethane item i'd selected didn't give sufficient movement. Wierd!
1st and third would suggest, to me, a gearlinkage rod sliding backward-and-forward problem (assuming a 'real' 356 box has a conventional layout).
