G/box bush at the bottom of the stick I'm guessing or you don't have the gates lined up right.

cheers and what u mean but the gates not lined up right!

[Bruce]

Need to make sure all the gates are lined up so the stick goes into the right place.
Was there a bush at the bottom of the stick? If not that I'm sure would be your prob.
They are cheap to buy someone on this forum sell them.

[simozuk]

ok no worries at all and yes the bush is fine and the stell washer think the gates might not be lined up any idea's how to line them up have no idea!

[Bruce]

I'm sure there are photos somewhere on here. Have a look using the search fuction.

Just make sure that the three notches on the selector rods are all in line across - You can move them with a screw driver or such.

yer got it all sorted thanks guys great help now the only problem is now is that the car wont kick over lol hooked everything up starter motor kicking out heaps of power battery is all sweet even tryed to jump start it but still not turning over i earthed the starter etc etc what am i missing

[tonyevans]

Is the starter spinning? If so it's the gear throw out (Bendix) that is stuck.

[simozuk]

no worries at all and how do i fix this any idea's been great help so far

[tonyevans]

Pull the starter out and see why it is stuck and fix it and just a thought - It is not connected the wrong way round is it? IE solenoid to ground?

[simozuk]
