No Reverse Gear Lock On Be1 - No First Gear

Recommended Posts

eastlondonpug

Hi,

 

Car - 1988

Gearbox - BE1 lift up reverse

 

I have replaced my clutch cable today. It was a 3 hour job and a good experience. I have now adjusted the cable properly too.

 

However, I got a new problem now.

 

Every time I try and select first, it goes into reverse. What seems to have happened is that the reverse lock is not working.

 

I have done a search on the forums and according to one of the old posts it seems to be a reverse cable issue (that may have been stuck open)

 

I dont really know what to do next, or how to locate this cable to look at further. What do I do next?

 

Can somebody please help.

 

Thanks

Cable screws into the top of the box, Should spring out when you remove it

Mine got too close to the exhaust manifold and seized inside the casing - shouldn't be so much of a problem on a car with a standard engine but might be worth checking that it's well behind the heatshield etc.
