Hello,

Been lurking here for years and have nearly finished my s1 rebuild but along with a lot of other little niggles im having an issue with my gear selector...

Original S1 Gearbox but with uprated clutch , new clutch cable . ..selector set back in original place ( pretty sure it is )

Problem : When i try and get reverse ( push down , i assume ..its been sooo long!) the selector actually pops out of the bottom of the rubber 'donut' that holds it into the selector housing.. in short its a nightmare to get reverse ..if im really gentle i can caress it in bit its annoying ..the other gears are better but still a bit clunky. any tips or help would be greatly appreciated!! do i just need to set up the selector again ? is the the quadrant ? ?

Many thanks , Pete

ps i assume all that holds the selector mechanism up into the floor pan is the rubber donut in the brass plate thats bolted to the car?
