my gearbox stuck in reverse its a sierra 5 speed i put a clutch in a few mouths ago and put new oil in at the same time and when i come to test it the gears where hard to get like had to swing off the shifter to get them and it wasn't that hard before and then we got it to sorta work and hope it would free up but it didn't and got worse and now its stuck reverse any ideas on how to fix it? i thought the oil might have been to think but when i did a search looks like i useing the right stuff

See down the hole, in the pic you have the same square looking thingy??
The one to the top, see how the shaft to the left seems to be behind it?
That square thing should be on a spring, use a blade screw driver to push it away from the selector, then try to leaver that selector toward the right.
If that don't work, you may have damaged a selector deeper in the box 7 will need stripping.

Use a screwdriver to move the reverse gate back to the correct position while the shifter is out , Cheers Paul.

[steak_knife]

There.

[suzukilwb]

cheers i well give it a go tomorrow

[royce]

yeah you arent putting the stick back in the right spot, you need to either get it back in neutral or stick the shifter back in reverse

Just got that my self

I was confused cause i couldn't see any tar.

[royce]

on the left is what teh slots in your box will look like, on the right is how they need to be before you put the stick in,m use a big screwdriver to pop it back, then it will be in neutral

[suzukilwb]
