Shifter slips past Snap ring

[couchboy]

Hi Guys 

I've got a brand new 25det neo gearbox and just installed the brand new shifter, put the snap ring in and with how tight the shifter and snap ring are if you wriggle the shifter it will come out. My question is are all snap rings the same or does the 25 neo gearbox have a wider snap ring or is it possible for the bush on the bottom of the shifter to be the wrong one. Shifter was brought separately. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers

Pretty sure there are 2 sizes of bushings at the bottom mate. I remember having this issue at some stage along the way also

Cool, good to know cheers.

There definitely are 2 bush sizes, I've been caught out by that too....but that won't affect whether the shifter is retained, it would either not fit (large bush in small hole) or be super loose (opposite).

However, I've never understood why, but there are 2 snap rings on the shifter....

Cheers @Duncan for the diagram I can't even fit the second snap ring, if its suppose to go in the same grove. On the off chance do you know the size of both bushes the one I have at the moment is 15.84mm off the veneer's.

It doesn’t go into the same groove the second snap ring goes underneath that one which holds it all in

Update: took the cup out to check for size and is correct size. I think it just needed more lube as it is seated correctly now and can put the second snap ring in under the one that goes in the groove 🥳. cheer guys 🤙

Me again 🤣, curclip, is there one size fits all or does the 25det neo box have a curtain curclip, bonus point for a part number. I do have one but it does shrink enough to be able to fit in the hole, think came out of a rb20.

AFAIK, they are not all one size.
