The coversion was going well, a few hiccups but nothing major. Had to cut a bigger hole for shifter to fit. The spiggot bearing went in fine, clutch, flywheel gbox went on ok. HOWEVER... After trying to start car(In what I thought was neutral) found it was actually in gear. When box was taken from previous car, was not removed in neutral, felt as though I only had 1st and 2nd gear. So I took out g-shift and attempted to correct the lever settings...Was relatively successfull after some time...Got 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,reverse and neutral. But no 5th. Had another play today. Now I have nothing, Can't even start car. Help. Is there a method for setting these levers correctly before putting in g-shift. has anyone had trouble with this before... Advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

What car, and what engine/gearbox?
FWD is all I could assume...

Oops, I was way off! At least I've done one of those myself though 
It sounds bizarre.. how was the gearbox on the other car? (if you ever drove it) On my t50 the shifter had to be pulled UP before sliding across and into both reverse and 5th.
Clutch problem maybe? If you can't start the car...

I had to pull mine up for 5th and reverse, yeah. I couldn't remember having to on the test drive, but at the same time I don't think I quite made it to 5th, either.
Do you mean the car's jumping forward when you start it even with the clutch depressed?

not jumping forward, but grinding. it would appear th shifter isn't correctly in place with all of the tabs...i just dont know how these tabs should be set- there is a few combinations

it's almost gonna be easier to put another box in...It's still a good box though....I think I need some detailed pics of the top of a good box, to see the tabs...I don't know, I need to have another look, time's not really on my side though...

Sounds suss that it's grinding, technically if the clutch was working right the input shaft shouldn't be spinning when the engine turns to make it grind...
You could always go to a wrecker and check out a box. A decent wrecker is likely to have a t50, you'd have to think!

I had the same prob with t50's in my old Celica,..
To correct it, simply remove the shifter, and use a screw driver to click the selectors into line (clutch in)
They should be lined up equally (3 on each side if I remember correctly)
If my explaination is dodgy, PM me and I'll draw a diagram,..
Cheers

All good, Thanks man - Did exactly that and got it functioning. Pretty much have to double clutch though to make it run smoothly. Not that it bothers me...Thanks guys!
