Re: Can't select reverse
Also, is it possible that the plunger 'F' has turned, so that the indent in it no longer lines up with where the steel ball pushes against it?

Re: Can't select reverse
Thanks for the replies, they have proven very useful. There is in fact a brass plunger behind 'B', it was obscured from view because the bolt was loosened. Slackening 'A' did not fix the problem, it turned out to be something to do with the 'selectors' near the nylon gimble. However, behind bolt 'A'...

Re: Can't select reverse
The spring shown in 'E' is resting on the plate just below it, which is part of the assembly 'G'. Do you have any pictures or anything of where the brass plunger should be, as if would be much better to not have the risk of reverse at 60! haha
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Can't select reverse

Re: Can't select reverse
ok, final pic... this is obv a view from above without the gear stick, reverse is engaged in this position at the moment (it wasn't originally). The 'plunger' shown as 'g' i have removed, cleaned and greased and has a smooth operation, i dont think this is related. The hole marked 'E' shows the top ...

Re: Can't select reverse
ok, next. haha. shown in this pic is the spring and plate which it is sitting on, i'd also like to know its purpose, is this the 'spring loaded mechanism' to preven accidental reverse selection? If so, the stick is currently in the neutral, freely moving position yet reverse is engaged, could this b...

Re: Can't select reverse
oj, here's a pic of the assembled unit. The bolts 'A' and 'B' i have adjusted to see if it made any difference, i'd like to know the purpose of these if poss. I'm assuming that 'D' is simply to stop the gear stick rotating during use. The hole in the plate (shown as 'C' does not line up with the hol...

Re: Can't select reverse
ok, i tried the 'slap' method and there is just no getting it over there. Last night i managed to get it into reverse again after taking the assembly to pieces and loosening off the adjuster bolts that are placed around the neck of the selector section. Thing is now, after reassembling, when in the ...

Can't select reverse
Hi, I've recently bought a morris minor 1000, 1968. It has been stood for 11yrs, after servicing the engine it is running fine, however, I can't select reverse gear. The gear stick will not move further to the right than 3rd and 4th gears. I believe there is a spring loaded safety device to prevent ...
