Stuck Transmission After Rebuild

I has a gearbox re done with Quaife and close ratios. Put it in the car and it got stuck between gears. Retuurned it to the builder and they said once I put oil in it and a motor attached to it then it wont be so stiff and should loosen up. They took off the nose cone and squirted some oil in around the hockey stick . I replaced it and it still wont shift . Sounds dodgy but has any one ever had this scenario. Wouldnt it just be set up wrong in the first place and thats the problem?/

what do you mean it got stuck between gears? have you filled it up and driven it? or just fitted it and played about with the shifter?

Hi,

it really can happen. Know it from Porsche 915-gearboxes, where it happens sometimes.
What type of gearbox do you have?
If it was a Porsche-gearbox the problem is easy to solve.

I was told once that you do not want to dry-shift a transaxle.
Especially a new one...

Get the motor running and the clutch adjusted and see how it shifts.

An old-timer once told me that you can do damage yanking on the lever of a new transaxle withot everything spinning....
