Gear selector refurb help

[Baldwelder]

Hi, I`ve just fitted a Brickwerks refurb kit - no instructuions and no manual and now I`ve lost reverse gear and maybe others but he`s parked on a downbank with a drop at the end so i`m not going to find out
Any sugestions?

Cheers

chock the front wheels, manually select the gear at the box and reverse to a better testing situation (there may be a lot of faff while testing!) ie flat ground. Failing that its a tow or a flat bed.

Ok done that - I didn`t know how to manually selct reverse either but managed
Well, I don`t have 1st and reverse - so it seems the stick can`t move far enough over - there is a device attatched to the bottom of the stick which `clicks when the stick is moved to reverse - this one:-

there were parts included to refurb this too but no rubber gaiters so i wasn`t going to bother until i`ve got hold of themand as you can see they are pretty much shot, could this be the problem?
I have a jx diesel engine which means the haynes manual i got is pretty much usless for most of the mechanical jobs - Is one available?

Your top hat bushes are missing, there should be two bushes between the gear stick and front rod link taking up the slack. I have two new ones here, pm me your details and I'll post them out to you, cant do it till Monday though as that's next first post.

This is why I LOVE this site - people willing to offer help and advice to others.

Rob - you're a star, one of many on here

Thanks Rob but no need as I had the parts in the kit but thought they were for the other part of the selector as I don`t remember taking the old ones out

All done and working great - another of many jobs crossed of the list thank you all.
Next job is replacing the servo pump, the replacement has the plastic connector broke off so i have to butcher mine to fix it,
I`m hoping it`s a straight forward swap?

Does anybody know of a printed manual for JX diesel models? It would really come in handy
