hi all just put new box in my gti-6 had to change the top gear arm over from my old box onto this one as they were different but everything lined up fine. now since its gone back together i cant get 5th-6th and reverse as the gear stick wont allow me to move over enough and when im in 1st its sitting in the 3rd position on the gear stick. am i right to believe that top gear lever is out cause when i was playing with old box with the lever off it drops down a bit and allowed it to move over a bit then locked into place and seemed to move spot on with the other lever on the back of the box so im guessing if i remove top lever and repeat this on box on car should it solve my problem. it seems that the top gear linkage needs to come over ½ inch to allow it to be in correct position for 1st.. sorry if this doesnt make much sense been on 4 days with the change between work and im goosed ha ha any info is much appreciated thanks jay

hi mate this is wat i thought the problem is. i managed to change position on the old box by allowing it to drop down and move it over and lift back up and lock it in... takes a few wiggles but does go. i think the lad i got box off tried to fit it in another 1.8 or 2.0 306 xsi or summit like this.. hence the different arm.. thanks for the info
