All I can do i refer to how I did it in my walkthrough part 15. I found it is a rhythm thing although I might have just gotten lucky. All the best!

I hate to have you give up.

Set up a start point just before and start and try until you get it.

I think the trick is in holding the left mouse button(LMB) down while moving, then releasing before the next step..

Try this sequence:
LMB down to rotate the red valve counter-clockwise about 2 times - release
LMB down and drag cover to lift it over red button - release
LMB Click on red button (the arrow starts moving in the red to the right)
Then quickly ...
Grab double switch lever with LMB down & drag it down - release
Then quickly ...
LMB down - move to 1 - release (arrow is just in left red)
LMB down - move to 3 - release ( arrow moves into the green toward the right red)
LMB down - move to 2 - release (If successful arrow remains in green)

The move from 3 to 2 must be made quickly while the arrow is still in the green.

As you can see from the walkthrough, I just made it (by milliseconds).

I'll admit it took several tries to get to the point where the movements were smooth and error free and once I got it, I just went a little farther, stopped and made a start point so I wouldn't have to do it again.

I really hope you can get past this to play the rest of the game.

I found that by letting it run in 1st gear for a few seconds so that it is stable in the green section, then pulling down the lever, then (yes, quickly) moving to 3rd then 2nd gear was successful. But I found it necessary to make large mouse movements in order to fully engage the 3rd then 2nd gears. But it is a very frustrating puzzle and is not very well designed!!!
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed :-)

It's such a great relief to get past the Icebreaker puzzle. As I said, I made a save game just after that. Fortunately there are no time sensitive puzzles after this. Still, it's good to make save games every 30 minutes or so, or at logical places along the way.
