Gearbox Question
I have lost 5th on a S plate Fiesta 1.25 Zetec-s
Took the box out to replace the slave cyl/thrust bearing and replaced the complete clutch at the same time. All the other gears work fine including Reverse, and feel like they are in the correct lever position.
Any ideas what I have done wrong?

There is a torx head screw on the bottom right as you look at the front of the car. This was removed then re-fitted but no springs flew out and nothing was moved but we only got a little oil out. Was this the mistake?

Will the steel lid come off in situ on the Fiesta?

In that case, take the lid off, then in order to get the operating claw back in its rightful place, read this thread:

Thanks Bernie 
I will take the cover off tomorrow and have a look
I do appreciate the help, and when I get some gearbox trouble you will be the one I call. ( It will happen as I have an RST and a Cossie ) You are only just up the road too!!!
