Difficult getting 1st & 2nd on 4 speed.

Post by KarlT »

Okay new van, 4 speed, nice tight change, not sloppy, no funny noises. Just hard to get into 1st (2nd not too bad). Like it needs to go other further left.
Am I right in thinking I need to (looking from the under the back of van) twist the front section slightly to the right (clockwise)?

Chick that the nut where the actual rod connects to the gearbox is tight. can make a world of difference and takes less than 5 minutes to check.
