Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the Transporter scene just purchased a 1990 T3 Panel Van with the 2.1 Petrol DJ engine.

I have recently changed the gearbox for a second hand one as when I first got it home I noticed a small leak which has turned out to be a hole in the end of the casing!!

The swap was successful (painful) and it goes into gears 1-5 well, but I have now lost reverse. It feels as though I can't move the gearstick over quite far enough to align with the gear.

I have played with the bracket mounted on the gearbox (blindly) adjusting it up and down but with no luck!

Can someone give me advice or idea what it could be?

I'm considering just taking the thing to a garage for a gearlinkage refurb and re-alignment!!

Thanks

Alex
