Problems with pre-select gearbox for spindle speeds on Weiler Condor VS

Good morning from Munich,

I have a Weiler Condor VS which we have bought a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately it tilted during transport against a box standing beside it on the lorry. Apart from some broken leavers everything seems to be working fine. The only thing I seem to be too daft to operate properly is the pre-select gearbox. The manual for the machine is still on its way, so no chance to look it up there.

In any case it seems a straight forward operation: Lever to the left or right, select speed, leaver to the right or left again. Now, does anybody know whether there is a trick to it? Or some careful fiddling? Or can something inside have broken? When taking off the selector wheel ( to gain access to the shear pin holding the round piece for the leaver on the shaft as this had to come off to drill the broken leaver out) I noticed that the pre-selector shaft can be moved axially (into and out of the machine's housing by roughly 15mm od 3/4").

Any advice is highly welcome!

Ulrico
