Re: AF 5 speed
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2022 12:41 pmI could but there was sloppiness in the cables.
I attempted to take it out by pulling cables through the trunnions but now when I select 1st engine stalls when pulling away, feels as though it’s in a higher gear and also 5th is non selectable.

Back to front and front to back lol
I had some problems setting my 5 speed up. I did find not only had I incorrectly adjusted cables but also the gear selector. Try using the gear selector without cables to see if the gears can be selected correctly. This will then let you know where the issue is likely to be - cable adjustment or gear selector adjustment
