Right I was pushing it towards the driver side thought it was anti-clockwise? Suppose its different the way you look at it ill have a go later anyway

Tried it many times well on my own lol

The best I got was 5 gears and neutral no reverse tho 1st was in reverse lol

Anyone know were the wee chrome bar that goes into the gearbox should be when its in reverse?
