Gearbox selector turret

[craig green]

Removed the turret from my F15 box at the weekend. I noted what position the selector was in as it came off but upon fitting it back on I'm convinced something inside is not lined up as I cant select gears manually. How is it meant to go back on? Any procedure?

Come on Stuart !!

[Stuart]

was gonna answer but ill let you sweat../work it out ;)

LOL.
Ive searched & found that I shoulve removed it whilst the box was in neutral. I didnt (I dont think). Someone on MIG reckons it shouldnt be an issue but I'm convinced the selector is stiffer. I havent forced it back on by anymeans, it bolted down with no resitance...

Can I manually engage neutral without the turret? Do I need to?

Sorry: Box Virgin.

[Stuart]

just put the gearbox into neutral (all fingers aligned in the middle) and then bolt the selector ontop...

[craig green]

what tool or technique would you use to align the fingers?

[Stuart]

my hands...... the selector fingers arent ahrd to move... OR use a screwdriver.

[craig green]

Thanks for that. I'll let you know how I get on.
