Howdy,

When renewing worn bushes on the gear lever linkages, i somehow managed to get the 915 box (81 SC box) stuck in reverse gear. I searched the forums and it looks like i have the option of pushing the pin for the reverse switch to hopefully release it. When i went to try this, i found the pin is missing (gearbox completely overhauled recently by a garage). I used a 3.5mm long bolt to check if long enough, but might be a bit short the one i have.

So... My questions are:
- how much pressure is required to release (if this solution works)?
- anyone got the dimensions of this pin so i can make one if necessary? Does it need hardened ends or anything?
- does the box now need to be checked for selector adjustments to reduce the chances of this happening again?

Thanks for any help. Car is stuck in the garage and as its a daily driver, i am keen to get it back on the road.
