Can't select gears easily, rear link issue?

[Drucifer]

After the engine and gearbox went back in it seems there is an issue selecting gears, it is difficult to get to neutral or into gear. When looking at the rear linkage it appears that the ball on the selector doesn't meet the cup it sits in.
Is there a way to alter this? The clutch works fine as been having to run the engine with it stuck in gear.

Change the ball and all should be well. As a temporary measure (lasted 4 years on mine) you can use cable ties to at least keep ball and cup close to each other. Also make absolutely sure the selector was bolted to the correct side of the flange during the refit - very easy mistake to make. Its all in the WIKI if you need a reference.

Cheers, didn't realise could be bolted on the wrong side!! Will check it out in the morning.

Actually, now I come to think of it, thats almost certainly whats happened. I did it at least once.
