Greetings, Thank you for your reply, I have managed to solve my problem, some how I put the shifter fork in backwards. (The photos I took during disassembly were rather dark which made it difficult to spot my error). I managed to lighten them with the help of software and voilà my problem was immediately evident. I look forward to getting the ute back together soon. Cheers, bushby.

Greetings to you all, As this is my first post, I'll tell you a bit about my stock as a rock 1988 Brumby (Brat was released as a Brumby in Australia.) 340,000 klms still going strong. Have had it for 12 years no major problems and never let me down. Not a bad reliability record!!!. About a year ago the front seal on the transmission began to leak as to be expected for a vehicle of this age, it got worse to the point where it began to leak on the exhaust causing fumes to enter the cabin. I recently had spare time to work on the problem, so I bit the bullet after some research and removed the box and went through the rather long process to split the box and replace the seals and gaskets. It's 9/10's completed. It all went smoothly until it came to putting the high / low shift rods back into transfer housing. No matter which one I try to put in first, the last one seems to jam about half way in. Tried many ways with the same result. I must be missing a detail somewhere, any advice would be VERY MUCH appreciated. Cheers, Bushby
