Push the small lever forward and you have 6 reverse gears

and if it wont go in let the car roll forward or backwards that should help it mesh in..

yep loads of maintainence, they p*ss oil out, the bolts vibrate out, the oil seals go, flange nuts come undone..    

welcome to the world of bec

Thanks

Car is on stands at mo and dosent seem to want to go in

Probibley best to wait to back on the ground with engine running?

Going to be a whole lot more questions im sure

P.S is there a reverse light sensor on the gearbox?

hello,

I  have just got a Megablade myself, I find that there isnt much play in the lever at all,

I find to get in reverse, with engine running, put into first gear and put a little pressure onto reverse lever and bring the clutch up gentally as drive begins to turn it will go in.

if it feels tight you could check the linkages for free play. The bushes should be really free moving with little wobble. Bit of oil should help. If the cars on stands it might be a good idea to use the time to make life easier for yourself in the future by making the side panels around the box not riveted on. Drill the rivets out and pop some rivnuts in thier place. M5 stainless cap head bolts. Maybe a spring washer to help stop them vibrating loose. It will help later on when maintenance is needed.
