Thanks Josef. I have turned the flat side to the bottom. See how it goes. Cheers, Brett

Hi Johny, I bought the 1/2 inch spring washer off ebay. I bought 2 types, 1 was thin similar to the circlip supplied in the washer kit and the 2nd had a wider cross section. I used the first one. Could have done with a bit of filing to make the cross section thinner but once I put it on I could not get if off to do it! Cheers, Brett

Just fitted the spring washer and it seems a good fit. Had to deform it to remove the spring effect. Have changed gear a few times and it is still in place. I will see how it goes. Cheers, Brett

Hi Johny, Yes but is a loose fit and sldes up the gear lever very easily. Cheers, Brett

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I am going to get a couple of 1/2 inch spring washers off Ebay and try deforming them into a tight fit. I will let you know the success or otherwise. Cheers, Brett

Hi Johny, I have not taken it off but it looks solid enough and undamaged. The groove on the lever is 0.520 inches diameter. Will see if I can get a better circlip. Will buy a new stop pin too. Cheers, Brett

Hi Guys, You were right the circlip had moved up the gear lever. It is a very loose fit and I am looking to tighten it some how. My stop pin has a flat along one side, is this to allow it to run under the stop plate when selecting reverse gear? Cheers, Brett

Thanks Johny I shall take a look.

Hi guys, My bolt is far lower down and does not line up with the stop plate as shown on the above drawing. Can the stop plate be lowered, about 1 cm in my case, or the gear lever raised? Cheers, Brett

Found it and downloaded. What a great set of documents! Thanks for the info. Cheers, Brett

Thanks Johny just going on line to download now.

Thanks Johny I will take a look. I changed all the bushes as part of the general car rebuild. Cheers, Brett

Hi guys, Selecting reverse in my Spit Mk3 has always been difficult. Before I refit the transmission tunnel I was wondering if anybody knew how to adjust the reverse stop pin to hopefully make selecting reverse easier? Cheers, Brett

Hi, I bought some bushes for my starter motor but they looked very difficult to fit. Are they as difficult as they look? Cheers, Brett

Thanks Josef, Mine are the over-centre ones which hook over the solid fittings on the header frame. Cheers, Brett
