Sorted now thanks, I must have bent the bracket slightly so it wasn't engaging fully, I've temporary packed it on washers to get it going, but will look at bending it back when I get chance. Ta

I am having problems with selection at the moment, had the engine and box out swapped engines and have put a new clutch in, then put it all back together. The only thing I have changed is that I slackened the bracket that fixes the cables to the box. I think I must have reset it in the wrong place. First run out I couldn't get 1st and 2nd. After adjusting it, now I can't get 5th either. I'm hoping that with a bit more fiddling with the bracket, I will get it back working. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a technique to realigning this bracket? I'll report back if this fixes it...

Hi there, Just wondering as I start to prep a 5efe engine to drop into my starlet, are the head gasket sets the same? I'm going to need inlet and exhaust gaskets, which I'm sure are pretty much the same anyhow. But are the head gaskets the same? I can buy a 4efe set nearly as cheap as I can buy just the inlet and exhaust gaskets for the 5efe. I figure if they are the same I might as well get the 4efe set and do the valve stem oil seals etc before I drop it in... Any thoughts? Tom
