Thanks George

But i dont even know where the gearbox is, and the Haynes for the most part, is useless.

LOL

im hoping he can help me with the 1st gear issue, as i still dont have much of a clue!

Hi,

Actually, the cat is almost directly underneatht the drivers bum..

As for 1st gear, it will be adjustment of the selector. Not difficult if you know what to do, and someone here will undoubtedly know.
Do make sure to not incorrectly adjust the reverse gear restrictor as some smart d!ck for me. Going from 2nd to reverse is "not a good thing"...!

I would also as recommended flush/change the gearbox oil.

Enjoy the new beast..

Des. . .
