have found reverse and as you all said had to get the engine running first.Now this prompted me to put the box in reverse then assemble the gear change lever at the rear.This could not be assembled as the front rose joint would not tighten while in reverse.This is mounted on a plate I made myself but looks identical in position to the photos shown.
My thoughts are if the distance A-A in my diagram was lengthened by 5mm the solution would be achieved orthere is the option of remaking the front rose joint gear box mounting plate
Could someone please measure A-A before I attack mine with grinder and welder
Thank you all for your efforts in helping me sort this problem
