Hi all. Today I started on my first adventure into Kombi gearboxes and I've come across a problem. I bought a few bits and pieces to tidy it up, one being a replacement nosecone bush. The old bush came out easily, but the new one took a bit of persuasion to get in using a tube dolly and hammer. Now the selector rod is locked solid. I can't move it even with the help of a pair of vice grips. So I can't imagine that's a good thing.
So I suppose I'll have to remove the nosecone. I was hoping someone could advise me on what to expect, i.e. bits jumping out at me, potential damages etc.
Also, the new flange seals are twice as thick as the old ones and absolutely refuse to seat all the way in.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Mark.
