Hey, welcome....!


First you need to host the pics, on a site like www.imageshack.us

Re-size the pics no bigger than 800x600. Copy the 'Direct Link' link and put it in tags like this:

Then your pic should show up.


As for gear issues- does your clutch feel like it's working as per usual? Check the fluid level in your clutch master cylinder.

If it is all good, you may have bent the selector fork, which aint good news for you bud

yup sorted the pictures...umm yeah the clutch feels normal, ill chek the oil wheni have daylight, how would i have bent the selector fork? and whats invole to fix it????

I have bent one once from short and flat shifting. You'll need to open the box up to replace it....

Check other things like the gear linkages, slave cylinder rod etc- we dont want to diagnose the worst outcome until you have checked all the simple stuff first.... :thumbsup:

Darn, another south-sider :unsure:.
Let us know which suburb you are in and I'm sure someone down that way should be able to have a look.
The usual problem if you can't pick gears while the engine is going but can while the engine is stopped is that your clutch in not releasing.
