Getting into neutral without column gear shift

Post by parisian62 »

So I'm getting my steering box rebuilt in the FB. Have removed the column etc but forgot to put into neutral...rookie mistake :oops:

I'm assuming I can still push the clutch in and manipulate the linkages off the gearbox...

Any helpful tips on which way to push / pull the top and bottom linkages to find neutral...?

probably stating the obvious but you will need both planes of the shift arm in their central position .....
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
