I concur Terry. When this happened to me I was way too far from home to do a proper rebuild, the box was simply stripped, cleaned and re-assembled. But I did have Hescho (Bosnian mechanic who was helping) put a blob of weld on the gate to limit how far the selector could travel. In this condition we made it home from Switzerland, albeit with our fingers crossed.
