Gday guys 

 

So I've recently installed a reinforced flex plate and I did a ZF service at the same time. 

 

Just chucked it off the stands to take it for a drive. I am now stuck in third gear. When I flick it over to sports mode it flashes a 3 and in normal drive the D flashes. 

I have a very sloppy gear stick selector now which was fine before and feels like I have gained another gear when going from D back to P. Sometimes its very rough as well, Like a banging sound if I don't push the stick back to P fast. 

Here are some videos of what I am getting.

 

 

 

Can any one help me please?

I don't think you have the selector on the box in the same location as the selector cable, I bet you've bumped it to a position other than P ( or wherever you left it ) and pulled the selector cable to re attach it again once finished. 

 

Did you just unclip the selector cable end ( female ) from the male stud on the box selector or did you full undo and dismantle the cable selector assembly on removal ?

Well I managed to get it sorted! 

Turns out the bracket that holds the cable to the box has a washer but it goes BEHIND the bracket. This made the cable line up perfectly with the selector! 

 

Thanks everyone for your help :)
