WB Column shift 3 speed stuck in first

[Dylan]

Yeah i noticed one is quite flogged out where it connects to gear box. Might look at making a new one looks quite simple, bent flat bar with 2 holes? Will pull them off and have a real look.

yeah im with agro. reckon your worn linkages caused the jam. spray some WD (not WB hahaha - not funny) 40 on the linkages that come off the steering column (maybe try to giggle them around too) in the engine bay while your mate tries to shift the column inside the cabin

worked for me on an HX

wont come out of gear if there is load on the gear. push the clutch down let it roll and apply park brake and the try again. My old HT used to do it all the time.

Thanks guys, Had a play around today lubricated where they come off the column and got a bit ruff all is good now. Noticed the linkage con the firewall side gets a bit stuck.

make sure you always shift in the true H pattern helps too...
