Hi lads and ladies.
I have a gu zd30 manual gearbox. My gearbox keeps slipping out of first gear if I go over bumps or back off and let the engine drive it. I was after your opinion as to the problem?
Before I turned it into a submarine and drowned her I never had this problem. I flooded her with silt muddy water. I had to replace clutch as it blew up and I noticed this gearbox problem after I got it back from the mechanics. The gearstick lever came off in my hand as they forgot a circlip that holds it in I have replaced this as well as the bushed. I have dropped the oil twice since the flood with castrol oil correct grade according to their book vmx or something cant remember.
In order of what I think the problem is : The spring at the bottom of the lever or the gearbox mounts not fitted or shagged or the mud has destroyed the box and needs recoed any thoughts and anyone wanna fix it for me?

was heavy silt mud it destroyed clutch slave cylinder altenator atarted motor belt tensioner pully etc. I am hoping it's the spring is shagged I'll replace it next weekend as I've changed the nylon bushed split rings and cirlips in it already. I can't find the gearbox and lever schematics to help with my search so if anyone has them can they put them up? then I'll do the gearbox mounts then I'm screwed haha gearbox replacement it 1800 from the wreckers haha

I might try it in the order I said earlier as it's cheapest fix first unless anyone has any better ideas

maybe the guide plate is bent , or the spring and balls are shagged both R and L hand side. thinking is if nylon
on selector wears it may cause you when shifting to bend that guide plate .
