  1. Hi have just put my engine and box back in but i cant find neutral i think i have all 4 forward gears and deffo got reverse but cant findneutral for anything..

    the stick is a bit like chuck a 6 to start and i dont know if it was like this before as i have never run it..

    anyone got any ideas.. i have moved the selector plate and even undone the linkage and wiggled it by hand but no use.

    cheers

    So what was up?
     
  4. Ahem.. :-[ i was testing it on axle stands watching the wheels turn in every gear including neutral.. :mad: it wasn't till i had a break and a mate came round to try and help and informed me that as it was on axle stands there would still be drag, he stopped the wheels turning with his foot and said theres neutral... :mad:

    Felt a right plonker.. in my defence have been working flat out on it for the past 5 days for mot so think i was not thinking properly and panicing as mot was booked for 8.45am today, ive cancelled it and going tomorrow now instead..

    van now has every gear and neutral :-[ stop/starts even ticks over and has all the important electrical bits working for mot,

    hopefully might make its 1st outing at bustypes

    ;D
