SimonMcG Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hi I have a 110 CSW (1995) with R380 gearbox, which I bought last year. I have found it increasely hard to select reverse gear. I have taken out and greased the ball in the centre of the gearstick. This helped the gear movement between gears but not the selection of reverse. I have looked at some of the other postings and investgated the hexagonal screw in the swivel joint. It was lose and I tightened it but to no avail. Should I have tightened it in a vertical position or slightly to the left so that when I try to select reverse the rod turns slightly more? Alternatively is it the nylon cup that the gearstick seats into. Should I replace it? I should mention that the gearbox oil was replaced less than 500 miles ago and there is no "crunching" so I assume that there are no problems with the gearbox itself rather the set up of the gearstick connections. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffernutter Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 With regards to the Allen headed grub screw, there should be a detent on the rod that it sits in, so you know when it is in the correct position. Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonMcG Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Peter I tightened the screw. I was wondering that if I had swivel joint a bit too far to the right then moving the gearstick right to select reverse would not go far enough and not get into gear. It took me several ( at least 10 attempts) to get into reverse today. Its like it won't go past 4th Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
