The third detent plug for the reverse selector rod cannot be removed until the rod itself is removed from the gearbox.

That "wishbone" looks like it's been fitted backwards.
It also looks like it might be bent.

I reckon you’re right. I’ll try and swap it on the car.
See a spare box picture and the new one.

Think the problem is now solved.....the diff assembly should have the bellcrank installed like this.

Good to hear it turned out to be just a minor hickup, rather than a major gearbox removal catastrophe :)
