What gear am I in?

[jezer101]

The gearstick feels like its in 4th and the selector looks like it is too;

The 1+2 and 3+4 shafts are all neutral, but the 5th shaft is outwards;

Anyone able to help Identify if I am in 5th?

Cheers

Pictures haven't worked chap.

But if the gearstick is to the right of 3rd, then that'll be 5th.

Reverse is to the left of 1st

 

[jezer101]

Pictures seem to be showing on my phone and work computer?
I am asking what gear I am in looking at the gearbox internals as such.
I somehow must of knocked the gearbox and one of the shafts (I believe) has moved, putting it in gear when the selector/gearstick is in a different position.

Nope pictures not working for me either.

@NorthloopCup is your man.

 

[jezer101]

These work?

I guess you can't edit your original post?

 

[Budgie]

Yep, they work mate.

 

[Goodj]

Much better.
Yep, I did suspect it was more than "I cant find fifth"

 

[NorthloopCup]

That my friend is not in any gear at all! You've managed to get the selector hub to go beyond its usual position.

All is not lost though!! If you look inside the selector hub down the 3 relief grooves, you'll see that there's a spring clip. Get a thin electricians screwdriver and pry it inwards, but at the same time pushing the hub itself back down.

That should see the lever return to neutral.

Thank you!

Will try it tonight.

 

[Budgie]

Bang. The boy knows his s**t.

Well from that one picture I can see that it's not in reverse and it's definitely not in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th from the position of the shafts, and there's also a bit of wear on the synchro ring for 5th gear. 😂
If you zoom in on one of the images, you can see the spring clip that I am on about as well!

This is what comes from taking far to many jc5's apart!

I'm glad you're the guy fitting my diff next year!

Properly know your stuff.

I'm a gearbox pervert if truth be told. I do all the truck gearboxes at work too!

Not many can do a JC5 like you though :up:

Cheers mate. Very kind of you to say.

@NorthloopCup any chance you could circle the part you are referring to in paint or something? would be good future info

As in the spring clip mate?

 

[NorthloopCup]

Here's one I made earlier -

Look just above the brass synchro ring and you can see the retaining clip I'm referring to.

legend thanks.

Wear on the synchro ring; is this bad wear? Or okay wear....

Well all seems good, so cheers again. Just need to get it completely back together to test drive it!
