Only getting reverse gear

[Wookie 66]

This does not sound easy at all
Buy an old Holden they said it will be fun they said

Someone was lying

Ok thanks for the info
I have a spare column I’ll play with that first

I know Vern did his with the column in the car, and I take my hat off to him.
My recommendation would be to take the column out of the car to do this job. All the electricals have to be disconnected and the top of the steering column has to be pulled apart anyway, and it is a very easy job with the column on the bench.
Bonus with the column out is that you can clean up the subframe and steering box.

Ok I my defence half the time I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing and the other half I actually don’t know what I’m doing.

Thank you all for the assist
I’m embarrassed to say

I had the gear leavers around the wrong way switched them over on the bottom of the column and all gears work fine


Cheers

That is good news, best feeling ever when you work out what’s wrong and you can fix it.
