    We had a same centauro 70 that was doing the same a few years ago. She had a shuttle box tho so might be a different job, anyway was quoted €2500 to fix it. In the end we just changed the gearbox for a second hand one.

    Not easy to fix, but easy to ignore - hold the lever when in reverse. Worn selector ring detents usually. Bit of a pita to fix and time-consuming.

    Split it, pull off the box and get it recond by an expert. If you go fluting in there you'll end up with a big paperweight. IMO.

    Good advice from Tail Docker, or ring a few breakers and price a correctly working one. You could get years out of it, or months! bit of a gamble. PM me if you want a few phone numbers.

    I would in me hole buy a box or get old one recond,just because reverse is acting up!

    how long has it been doing this?Does it take much effort to hold it in reverse ??

    I am not familiar with that machine, but I would presume the detents(ball and spring) is located just under gear box lid just like old CASE,FORDS,Massey etc etc.

    Can You lift off the gearbox lid without removing the Cab?
