Re: [Tech - HELP] "Recently Rebuilt" 2H Transaxle Install

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Peter, try pulling the detents out of the top of the selector rod housing 
and see if it goes into gear ok then. It might just be that someone had 
fucked with them and over tightened them making damn near impossible to get 
it into gear.
