Are you sure it was a C4 and not an FMX?
C4 and manual Yoke is the same . FMX is unique. |

thank you all for your help
but i found the problem i decided to crawl under the car again no mean feat for someone my size got to jack up very high but i pulled the rear seal out and found that the yoke was hitting the gearbox by one mill and so i got the yoke i use for plugging the manual and pushed up a bit was a bit hard but it went in i started the car put in gear looked at the yoke and it was spinning in reverse and drive with no noises that i could hear so ill know on the weekend if i have to change gearboxs ill get a new rear seal and put the tailshaft in |
