Hi All,

Ive just changed the clutch on my E30, on my back (very proud of myself!).

BUT the gear knob has shifted so that when its in neutral it looks like its in 3rd! :cry:

Its drivable, just a little anoying. Im asuming that ive just put the selector rod in the wrong way round but though i would check with you guys.

Thanks
Taka
