Gearbox selector issues

Post by mrnickmuss »

I have been on quite a journey over the last few weeks with an AAZ engine swap. I thought I had everything sorted until I went to reverse out of the garage.....I couldnt get it in gear... On closer inspection the nylon ball that sits on the side of the gear box keeps jumping out.
I guess when I dropped the engine I have shifted something....
Any pointers greatly appreciated!

Has the selector rod been under stress and got slightly bent?
