outer gearbox cover

I was replacing the gear change lever o ring, all seemed to go well. After putting the outer cover back on I selected 1st gear but could not get 2nd or back to neutral. tried to get the outer cover off but it would only move about 2cm then would not come any further. I think that I may have putt he gear selector spring or pawl in wrong. and think that somehow I must get back to neutral before the cover will come off, any ideas?.

I think that was another thread with the same issue.

Sorted, got the cover off, do not know what was catching in there. Adjusted the ratchet Spring a bit, it was a bit snug on the gearshift pawl. Reassembled and everything seems fine.
