With some difficulty I can force the selector lever over to the left into manual, but I can't then rock it forward or backwards to change gears. I guess I must somehow have reassembled the unit wrongly, so I'll have to take it apart again.

What would help would be an exploded diagram or picture of the selector box internals, but I can't seem to find one. Would be useful to see if I've somehow lost a spring or something.
Did you ever re-do this and fix the manual changing issue? Honestly, this is my fear that I screw something up and have no way to drive the car ...
