What coupling near gearbox did you use as black stock style ones can be out in screw orientation

stock nose cone, think i may have found the problem, it had a slightly bent front rod tube, I fixed that and moved the shifter over to the left as much as possible and it seems to have fixed it but I haven't gone for a drive yet. Anyone know if you can buy the geni berg ones in oz?

Niko be careful with the front shift rod. They are meant to have a slight bend in them. Should be close to the rear end and downward if I remember correctly. I've heard of people thinking it was damage, straightening them out and then having shit shift.

I think thats what I did at the start, I bent it trying to get it to be centered in the tube but the bend I put in it was a sideways bend, anyhow it seems fixed now as I can get all gears and reverse only works with the trigger pulled up. Still want to buy a geniberg one if they ever reply to my emails

here's a quick vid of the reverse gear testing, still got to run in the motor, and other little jobs.

Love it. Would never have thought to paint a bus orange but for some reason it works really well. Wheels look great. White cyclops is also a nice touch.
And by the way I think you left your fuel flap open.

Front cover of a 2016 VWMA I'm guessing

Must be great feeling from all that labour you poured into it.
Only fun times ahead
