[carlitos]

First of all, excuse me for my english cause im from spain.

I have a 1994 3000GT VR4 imported from USA and my gear box broke down a couple of months ago. I bought a used gear box, and my mechanic needed some parts of the other box to fix it and do some kind of "manual" works to fix it.

I have already taken the car and it´s impossible to get the 6th gear and the rear gear appears when i try to, so the gear box makes a big noise (of course!).

With the car completly stopped i have practiced with the gear box and everytime i try to do the same i have told before, the rear gea comes. And as i remember from my original gear box, to get the rear gear the movement was kind of "complicated", i mean....you have to move the stick (sorry, i dont know the english for it), twice, one to the right (out of the H scheme) and the backwards to the corner. But now i think that movement is missing at all. So when i try the 6th, the rear gear appears.

Also i was looking for it when i move the stick to me (in the movement position to me, backward), 2 and 4, but not 6, only rear. The 1, 3 and 5 works good.

The question is.....have they fit a 5 gear box in my car? and was that reason to do those "manual" works, right?

I have no contacted my mechanic again, yet because i have alreary takne the car and he will be out for a couple of days.

Was it a fraud? i really trust him cause he has owned 2 3000GT years ago and it´s the only mechanic i let touch mine one since i bought it 3 years ago. But i didnt expect this from him.

Even if you do plenty of "manual" works is it possible to fit in?

If the answer is YES then it means it will probably be a 5 gear box and if the answer is NO, (but not at all), then something is badly assembled, or maybe....i dont understand nothing at all.

I can not wait to know the truth from him before he comes, so if some of you have any guess, i would appreciate it.

Thanks for you reading and your answers are very welcome.
