Pete - I just purchased new geabox mounts, but thanks for asking - good way to eliminate any potential problems. When it was stuck in gear with the old housing, putting force on the assembly didnt move it so I'm thinking the mounts are all good.
Smallcox - The adjuster bolts on the side of the lever are at full forward as mentioned, and i still cant get 1st & 3rd.
Rusty - that might be the way to go, I'll have a go at it today (lucky its Easter and I've got some time). I'm assuming you mean Item No:4 in fig 6:15 in the manual?
Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully once its sorted i'll get to start a new thread - I've had a bit of a property change and have had to lose a few of my nikis lately. The total now stands at 4. Due to this I havent had time to work on any of my cars let alone the projects

for the last four months. The daily will need to go outside but at least I'll be able to work on my 1000cc project once the daily is sorted. Hoping I can get it sorted by the end of the holidays. Thanks once again for all your help guys.
