I took it out for a quick drive down a couple of roads(40MPH) and what a pain it is to drive, so looks like the linkage needs adjusting at the box end.
Sorted thanks to those who replied to my thread.
hi mark, i recently fitted an s2 rst gearbox to my fiesta and i am having the same trouble that you mention above ie not being able to find all gears when the engine is running, especially reverse, although 90% of the time with the engine off, i can find all gears nearly every time. did you get to the bottom of the problem? and did it just need adjusting at the 'box end?
thanks
james
