At least this was what we thought.<br \/>Saturday morning, we re-installed the gearbox, an activity we are already experienced in. We only were euphorically for a very short period. It was impossible to install the connector for the reverse switch when the gearbox is mounted.<br \/>Unless we should consider plastic surgery at both hands. Since I am not a fan of Hoeyberghs &amp; Co, there are only 2 possibilities left. Not driving backwards in the dark or, remove the gearbox again.<br \/><br \/>Since we have already some experience built up we go for the removal again.<br \/><br \/>So finally job done and hopefully the gearbox can stay for a while now.\u200b\r\n                            \r\n                            ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some wires dangles already for months at the underside of the car desperately waiting to find a home in one or another connector housing.All of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pawO0n-1zS","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.r-box.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.r-box.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.r-box.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.r-box.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.r-box.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.r-box.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6068\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.r-box.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.r-box.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.r-box.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
