no 1st gear?

[linzi94]

trying to help this guy out (from another forum):

Hi ppl,

Posting for an uncle of mine. I have a DC5 and it won't get into first gear. Transmission has just been replaced with Honda MTF as is the 1st & 2nd gear syncro + clutch kit, all original parts from honda. 1st won't engage, 2nd is ok, same goes for the other gears. Clutch feels nice and soft. The selector box was opened and a bolt was discovered loose so we tightened it up. but still the same problem. Just wanted to know if you can help us cause we haven't got a clue where else to look...

Thanks a lot

it might be worth while getting him to give Tom @ TGM a call about gearboxes.. they rebuild them quite often. If anyone knows, Tom will know. :lol:

Whoever rebuilt the box has possibly made a mistake, more info is needed though, as i don't understand what they mean by selector box. if you want to pass on my email address then do so, i'll pm it to you.

imo too much of a coincidence for it to NOT be an error on whiever built the box

entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity.

Occam's Razor - the simplest answer is usually the right one... I'd sort it out with the peeps who did the gearbox

thanks for the email, i sent it on....

we were of the opinion too, that he should return it to the garage that did the work for them to sort it!
