No 3rd or 4th gear.....help!!! IT LIVES!!!

I am pretty confident it is going to work....

Bravo!!!......and from this distance, it didn't even look that hard.
An inspiration to those of us intimidated by gearboxes.

Nice job. I understand replacing those springs in-situ can be a real...challenge, let's say.

Quick note as most of it is back together......

Rover works GREAT ! New shifter, all new springs and detent balls, synchro clip, seals, and a few other bits. It shifts smoother than it ever has (likely due to the new gear shift lever), and 3rd and 4th are there no problem. Still pops out of second on deceleration (did that for the past 10 years on the old owner), but I can live with that. Even the 4wd knob pops up properly thanks to the proper seating cup and spring from RN!

What a great BBS.....I would never have attempted anything tranny-related without your help! Oh, and Mark...."challenge" is right....next time I have to replace those springs I don't anticipate it being any easier....at least getting to the synchros will be.

Cheers,
Julian
