Well after much head scratching I loosened the right side shifter ball =

suspect the non threaded bit on the end is a little too long .

Hi Ed,
Fortunately it sounds as though you don't have the interior in yet so =
the problem should be easily corrected.
I encountered a similar issue during a BJ7 box rebuild and it turned out =
to be caused by an incorrect reverse gear detent spring.=20
I had replaced the reverse shifter rod because serious wear was evident =
between the 2 detents in the rod but didn't realize that someone had =
replaced the the original detent springs for a much heavier which was =
coil binding with the replaced rod.
Only figured it out when I discovered that it was easy to engage reverse =
with the top cover off the box.
BIG CAUTION.. If you are playing with the gear engagement with the top =
off the box be VERY CAREFUL. it is really easy to "over travel" the 3/4 =
or 1/2 sliding hubs which will allow the synchronizer balls to pop out =
too far.
Don't ask me how I know!!!

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
