Depends on what mileage you did on it in the 2 days when it was low on oil.

Are you sure the selector rod on the gearbox (underneath) hasn't come loose ?

Maybe the Linkage has not been setup right.

I select Reverse on the box and then put the linkage onto the shaft of the box.. Hold the gearstick in the correct place reverse should be and lock it in place. Works for me!

Is the breather blocked ?

(little plastic or rubber tube on the end near the inner wing ? )

Hmm
sounds like a problem internal then. I would guess the selctor has issues?

Strip it and check.

i haven't chect the breather yet but i tried to move the selector rod with the filling plug off so air wouth get out and it still had no effect
i think i'm going to have to change it again ( the glory of a s2 a guess )
would an ib5 box fit without problems?
