1. The circlip has to be pushed through a tapered section inside of the switch housing. The tubular plastic tool does this job.
The tubular plastic tool was machined a PVC water pipe fitting ( from memory)
The large end is 38.5 mm diameter with 2 mm wall thickness
The small end is 33 mm diameter with 2 mm wall thickness.
The slot which is about 19 mm wide allows the tube to compress.
Overall length is 130 mm
2. The small threaded rod is used to compress the internal spring inside the switch. I didn't have a piece of 3/16" threaded rod, so I just used what was convenient. The wooden spacer keep the nut out in the open.
Overall length is 190 mm
3. A couple of long thin tools are handy to remove the circlip. One has a wedge shaped end like a screw driver and the other has a small hook.
Both are about 190 mm long
It helps to keep these tools in a small box marked with "Switch Tools"
They are fairly easy to make and do work.

Installing or removing the rotary switch is not such a problem if you have the right tools.
I will get some pictures of the tools I made tomorrow and share them.

Hard left looking from the front is 4th gear. So the first question is does this only happen when you are coming out of 4th gear or does it happen all the time? If it only happens when you are coming out of 4th gear I would suspect it is not coming all the way out of 4th gear.
From your post it sounds like this may have just started and is happening all the time. Try the following trouble shooting
1. Shut the car off and see if the cross shift pops back to the center neutral position.
2. Start the car, place the shift selector switch in neutral - does the cross shift go hard left
3. Check voltage on the rear most terminal on the solenoid valves - it should be 0 volts
4. Disconnect the vacuum line on the left side of the cross shift - this is a bit difficult as the line is on the bottom below the cross shift switch. Is there vacuum there?
Stop as soon as you get a yes to any of these questions - you have found the problem
Give me a call if you have any questions, I am in the directory or I will PM you with my number.
Good luck! and let us know how you make out.
