Putting the gearbox in neutral
« on: 24 August 2015, 13:32 »
OK I have disconnected my gear linkage and done the bushes and am about to reconnect it all, however I forgot to put the gearbox in neutral before hand. I know I have moved the selector bolted directly to the gearbox, so now I don't know what gear the car is in. How do I put it back into neutral so I can align the gearstick properly?

neutral is in the middle with the selector being vertical and the shaft should be able to move in and out of the box
