Car stuck/jammed in 1st gear after service :(

You mean you poured it down the Vehicle Speed Sensor hole?
If so then it should be ok. lol

You can pour it through the filler hole which is on the side of the gbox housing but it gets messy when it overfills.

Thenit's gotta be where I put a bit of fluid down that other hole,that had the ball bearing in it.It has to be.Hopefully it will settle overnight and be ok tomorrow.But either way we will work it out.

That's such a relief.

Okay so we filled the wrong hole...i have heard that before :P

I guess that \s why the geaRs wouldnt move. Thanks for the help so far guys. What is meant to go down the sped sensor hole, anything?

the gearbox fluid lol

once drained.. tighten back up the bottom plug (should be a internal square pattern bolt)

open up the filler hole (the one above the bottom plug) and the speed sensor hole and fill the fluid until the fluid is slowly leaking outside the filler hole

once its stopped.. then you know you're at perfect level (flat surface and the car should not be on jacks now)

thats how i did mine on my gearbox.. its a b series gearbox so it should be very similar?

It's that or the other ball bearing thing.It may have moved.

If it's the fluid in the ball bearing hole,then hopefully it will settle overnight.

If we get stuck,we can drive/coast upto my mechanics at mermaid bch.

Thanks RR-04-RR!

Will check the levels tomorrow!

that ball bearing you found is from one of the selector detents.

sorry to say, but for as proper fix, the box has to come out and pulled apart to put it back and find out why it came out in the 1st place.

Fark.

I stuck a magnetic stick in there and it grabbed it.I put it back,but it must not have gone back in properly.

Thanks John.Cheers mate.
