 Re: RBT stuck in reverse!
I have never been inside a RBT/ZF, but it sounds like the selector finger has slipped thru between the gate on the reverse fork and gate for the fork for whatever gears are next door to it. The fact that you can select one of the forward gears ( essentially get it in two gears at once ) while it is still in reverse would suggest that there is a problem with the interlock/detent system although this may have been overcome by brute force.Even if you manage to get it out of reverse by partial dissassembly the interlock system needs to be investigated to ensure it does not happen again. If it does somehow manage to select two gears at highway/race speed the initial problem will be insignificant compared to the end result.
Im starting to think these ZF things and all there copys are a bit like a Rolls Royce- If you can afford to buy em -you should be able to afford to fix em-often!!!
