h55f stuck in gear | Thread profile

Sorry about the late reply, have been busy enjoying the 4x4 in the hills. I found that it was the opposite to what was talked about first. The bar that goes into the reverse light bit was all the way back so that it was towards the 5th gear (opposite to reverse). We knocked her about a bit getting it in, so im guessing that must have done it. But she is running good now. Cheers guys.

humm, i am trying to picture this in my minds eye... you removed the back up light ending unit stuck a screw driver in to move the reverse shaft back and that wasn't the problem...correct? but 5th gear was locked in... correct? i am trying to picture how this could happen.

As Wayne says. You might have to buy an appropriate sized spanner and bend it. I used a ring spanner and cut a slit in it so it would fit over the wire. I cant remember why I used a ring spanner over an open ender,probably because the hex sits down slightly in a recess

Either that or someone took the shifter off and put the shifter back in without seating the shifter in the socket - maybe? It has to click into the plastic bushing.
