If the selector has been out, it hasn't been reassembled with the yoke upside down has it?

Of the harmonica-style rubber gaitor is new, cut a bit off and the gears will stay in. Magic. They're made from a too strong material and when compressed, actually push the rod right back out. Chinese engineering.

I'm trying to say that the gaitor in this kit (without claiming that the kit from minispares is bad, but I've heard of many people fitting these, including myself, arguably from different suppliers and some of them are too strong) http://www.minispare...id=35775&title= will actually push the lever out of gear in 2nd and 4th unless you cut a coil or two off with a knife.
