whilst removing my sub-frame for powder coating i undid the clevis bar from the gear selector.
when refitting the the gear linkage to the selector i fitted one of the metal bushes i got from Yanoo, and when on a test run only to find i've got all 5 forward gears but no reverse now?
when i try to select reverse it it jumps back across in first? :?
the only thing that may have moved whilst taking it on and off is that the gear selector twists either clockwise/anti-clockwise but surely this doesn't adjust the linkage by doing so?
i disconnected it all again and went through all the gears with the selector by hand and it selects ok. i also put it in reverse and got a friend to hold the gear stick in where reverse should be, noticing the clevis bar sits back about an inch from the selector.
to adjust do i need to just lengthen the linkage to rear the selector when its seated in reverse? :?
