Ask if all the selector indicator lights illuminate when the gearlever is pushed through the entire range. If so, sure sign of selector switch breaked. Usually rectify with a stripdown of switch and a good clean of the contacts with electrical switch spray. Piece of p**s to do :y

Not a bad motor. If you get at right price and the box is stuffed, still cheap to whack another in off one of the breakers here :)
