Ours was a real mongrel to get into reverse and that was after the box rebuild so we purchased a new one and now it works like a new one which of course it should.

I believe that the components are heat treated to harden them so cutting and pasting might not be the way to go.I fitted a new shifter and avoided any problems. It feels like new.

A good backyard way of fixin' these sloppy shifters is to keep the rear handbrake cable clips / brakeline clips (horseshoe shape) and jam em in there!
