So bought a seicento for 90 with 5 months NCT, no 3rd and crunching going into 4th, changed box which what I think was a normal seicento box, not a sporting
Put oil in etc, selects all gears perfect except 5th, the box does have 5th but it's not selecting it through the gearstick

My question is do I need to change linkages to a Sx from sporting or is there something I'm missing?
Thanks

Is the selector mechanism in the car OK? you can have an issue with the stick not going over far enough because of a breakage or fouling in the selector cup.

D

The selector selects 5th, so does the box with linkage on and no ball socket connected.
I see the bottom plastic bushing is 100%
There is the slider for the pull up reverse , it's fouling on that, but I know it's just not right, any ideas

Has also done it with only this box, both selctor mechs will put it into 5th and I have drove it in 5th so the gear is 100% also, kinda stumped

You may have to adjust the cables as the movement needed is not enough.

There are cable tension adjusters BOTH ends of the cable.

It is a right pain but you will win with a bit of playing.

It is probably the right to left adjustment that needs tweaking.

Yes that seems it, were are the adjustment in the cable, I see on the little arm with the small cable has a bit of adjustment , is there some in the cable box under the car,
Thanks a million guys

Where the car rests in neutral where up is 3rd is straight up and 4th is straight down, there isn't enough of a gap from the gear stick and reverse slider for the car to go over into 5 ?

SORTED!!! THE LITTLE LINKAGE ON THE END OF THE BOX!!
Turned it 4 full turns and got 5th!
Guys can't thank you enough time because I wouldn't have looked there as soon
