2014 XF 7000 reverse

Hi, I’ve been having some issues with my reverse engaging. The actuator is definitely turning the gear in the chaincase, but I only have forward. It won’t go into reverse. I’m thinking it’s the way I put the connecting shaft into the chaincase (sorry, I don’t know the exact term). Here’s a pic though of it’s current orientation (with sled in forward, not reverse)...does this look correct? Or any other tips on what I can do to get the reverse to engage?

Thanks.

If everything is assembled right in the chain case it should look like this..

When you align the actuator it should be to the right a tad, turn it counter clockwise to align the 3 bolts holes.

Thanks! I will give this a try tonight. I also had opened up the reverse actuator and couldn’t believe how much corrosion and crud was in there. Cleaned it up the best I could.

Got the cleaned up actuator back together and tried it out today. Worked perfectly! Knock on wood.

I was expecting that the plastic gear in the actuator was going to be worn but the teeth looked perfect. Thanks again for the help on this Fabio. Quite a simple fix, but was a mystery to me.
