I have a '74 MK2 Roadster I am restoring.
I rebuilt the gearbox about a year ago and have since installed it in the frame with the engine etc.
I needed to change the box into top gear to be able to tighten the clutch centre nut and I accomplished this ok by rotating the rear wheel and moving the gear lever downwards.
However, when it was in top gear I was unable to change down through the gears by doing the same procedure (rotating the back wheel [drive chain attached] and moving the gear lever upwards) but nothing happens. No matter what technique I used I could not get the box to change back down through the gears to neutral.
I am hoping it is a selector adjustment and not something that requires the gearbox to be stripped again.
Thanks for any advice that can help me out.
Cheers Don
