Not quite an omega but it's old brother the senator! I recently bought a 2nd hand R25-28 manual box as I'm going to change my senator over to manual.
trouble I'm having is the main shaft only turns about 1 spline before locking. I thought maybe the box was in gear as the selector mechanism was loosened off for transportation but I've tried quite a bit of force to turn the mainshaft and it's not moving. I've tried resetting the selector mechanism and it feels like it's in neutral but it's not moving. It's not as if the box is seized as the shaft moves a spline then clunks into something and doesn't move. Praying it is in reverse and just tight to move.
Hopefully I've not bought a lemon. I'm just wondering if it isn't stuck in gear then what are the things that could be causing this?
Thanks

It'll pay for that! Every time it changes up I'll just kickdown again :)
