Gearstick Insert Problem

[Guest Lee reed]

Hi Guys, i brought a new insert for the bottom of my type 9 gearstick as it was missing. when it was fitted the gearstick would no longer push down to select reverse. I assume there is differant types of the gearbox and the way reverse is selected?. How do i tell if I have the correct one as I do not have an old one to compare, or have I simply made myself look a plum and fitted it wrong (alhough that looks impossible). many Thanks Lee

Just to correct myself,I believe the part is known as the "Saddle" and not an insert.

Take it out and try it the other way round, mine was in the wrong way round. In fact I'd convinced myself, without looking at it, that it wasn't there so bought a new one, then dismantled it and discovered there was one but the wrong way round! Sorry can't remember now which way it goes in. Another symptom was 1st and 3rd were very very close. Hope that helps
