Gear selector rod replacement - 5 speed manual
Recently replaced both gear selector rods, the short one and the longer one for a five speed manual. Now I find it very difficult to engage 1st and 2nd gear. It feels like it's not aligned correctly, or something has moved over time to cause this to happen. All the other linkages have been replaced and oiled which its connected to.

Re: Gear selector rod replacement - 5 speed manual
Stupid question, but are you sure you put the rods on the correct way around, as the longer one is shaped.
Don't ask me....it was like that when i got here !

also, is the upper metal rod the correct way around? That too has its own way of fitting -haynes shows you which end is which.

Re: Gear selector rod replacement - 5 speed manual
ive got this problem at the mo. if i let the clutch up slowly it will crunch into gear!NOT GUD! but havent worked out whats causing it. ile turn the connecting rod round and see if that makes it any better.
I dont mind project cars but I HATE SANDING!!!

Re: Gear selector rod replacement - 5 speed manual
Ahhh, back from hols.
Just checked and the both rods are correct way round. Just wondering if there are any adjustments I can make.
Really want to use the car over this period to give a run, but do't want to crunch the gears in 1st and 2nd.
* Clutch cable is replaced and has been adjusted and is working fine.
