    I'm trying to remove the selector actuator to sort my non centring gear lever. I have removed the four bolts on top and the 14mm one on the side but it only coles prt-way up and then feeles like it's catching on something. Have I missed a vital step?

    Did you make sure you were in neutral before starting to disconnect everything? The selector unit can only be removed if the box is in neutral.

    I had the same issue. I disconnected everything for the mechanism before removing as that was holding it in place.

    are you sure you have removed the correct locking bolt to the actuator?...this is a classic sign of the locking bolt not being removed..bolt on gearbox casing.
