put car in neutral.get under the car. where the gear selector comes out the bulk head there will be a 13mm nut on the linkage. loosen that off. get back in car and under the leather gaitor u can see the bottom of the gearstick. leave in neutral but push the lever right over to passenger side.u will see a hole in the lever. u then put a screw through it to lock it in position so it doesnt move. then go to the gear selector casing under battery tray. there will be a little plug sticking out. it will either have to be pulled out or if it has a spring it will need pushing in. the way u do this is by grabing the fork selector on the box and twist it towards the passenger side. when u twist it u will be able to push the plug in so it locks the g.ox in position. if the plug is the removable type u pull it out and put an approximately 4mm drill it in to lock it. once thats done u then tighten the 13mm nut back up. remove screw from gaitor and plug or drill bit from box and its done. | |

I had this problem about a month ago. I originally lost reverse, 1st and 2nd but managed to adjust the linkage so I had reverse, 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Would be easier done with a ramp, but it looks do-able. I just got the garge to do mine. Part cost me £100 :( | |
