The selector rods can get stuck if not used from time to time

Hopefully just a case of cleaning up and lubricating - have seen some threads on this

Should be able to access by removing the middle seat panel.


Edit: Found this thread with a couple of Buster's photos amongst it

are yousaying you have to use gears in gearbox to help select hi again after selecting low as this to some extent is normal as hi low selection is done through dog clutch no synchro .it may beas well as stiff that clutch is not clearing enough
