Left and forwards. But you’ll need to lift up the reverse collar under the gear knob.

Are you lifting up the collar first?
If you aren’t, you’ll select first gear and not reverse.

Yes the collar is lifted and rises over the plastic moulding. You can actually feel and see the gear lever going into gear but it goes forward not reverse .

When my dogbone went I only had gears 3-5 due to misalignment ☠️ Could have joined a bobsleigh team after I perfected the 5-point-push-turn

Yes , the Olaf is lifted and clears the plastic moulding , you can actually feel it going over and into gear but it still drives forward!

Hello Marsho/David,
Did you ever solve your reverse gear selection .... I'm having the same issue .... all gears are forward ... and yes lifting the colar allows the gear lever to move left and forwards as for reverse but seems to find first ???

Put the gearbox into first (using the same method you currently are - by lifting the gate),

loosen the 13mm linkage nut under the car and disconnect it from the gearbox without pulling the box out of gear.

Have someone hold the gear knob roughly where you think first gear should be (let me know if you want some pics to help)

While they try and hold it steady, re connect the linkage under the car.

You should now be able to use the gate for reverse, it not, repeat holding the gear knob more over towards the centre than before.

Hope that makes sense
