Hi guys,

Ive got a body lift in my gq, ive notched a section near the gearbox but doesnt seem enough.

Anyone got some suggestions? as sometimes its hard to put in reverse and pops out.

Hey mate, I've got a body lift in mine and don't have any problems with reverse. Usually it's just the 4wd that fowls when in low. This needs a trim which i have done, but haven't heard of reverse being an issue with anyone before?? . . . What year is your one. Maybe later ones have a bit of a different surround.

its 1990 model maverick, unless something with the gearbox itself but yeah sometimes hard to change into reverse need to slot it in firm. the gearbox was low k unit.

Yeah that's about the same vintage as mine. Usually the gearbox isn't affected by a body lift, could be an issue with the box or clutch adjustment maybe. Can you see the lever hit the body anywhere with the boot removed?
