Re: Type 9 (N) gearbox lock up
Right , just a quick update, see if this guides anyone a bit nearer to solving my issue. It is currently stuck in 5th gear , although I can get it into neutral , but it will not come back across the gate, so I can select reverse, thus enabling me to drive the pin out of the rear on the gear selector...

Yeah the one I ordered was the 6263MC, and on their site (Tickover) it lists it as being suitable for both 1.6 & 2.0 . The one currently on is a Quinton Hazel 914. Might just have to put it on the rack and pre stretch it :lol: . If it still won't go on I may just have to get a slightly longer on...

Price £3.00 including postage ....OK only a small bargain , but a bargain is a bargain .
