Hi there, just been out and bought a 1989 Mini City 998cc 4 speed motor to run alongside my MG ZR. It drove home the 130 miles from London where I bought it and was spot on, not missing a beat. However when I got home I reversed it up our lane to drop onto the drive and thats where the problems have begun for me. I Knocked it out of gear and switched off and left it an hour. Went back out to it and couldnt get it to go into any forward gears. It is a 4 speed box and to get into reverse you have to pull the stick up and backwards to the right if your with me. It appears that the stick is now stuck in the upper plane of the box if you understand me? I can select reverse now without lifting the stick up, it is as if it wont drop back down to the lower level to allow selection of forward gears? Didnt know if anyone knew if this was a normal fault with this box? Anyone any suggestions as to what I can do? Im so annoyed ive found this nice rot free motor and now I cant drive it because of a stupid fault like this. Reverse did work because it was demonstrated on the test drive and also I used reverse a couple of times myself at petrol stations etc whilst driving home. Hope ive given enough info, hope someone can help????
Cheers
Dale
