Need to have fun with blog title titles LOL When I got the car, the shifter bushings were screwed, the gearbox mount was screwed. There was a lot of slop in changing the gears. When I pulled out the gearbox mount, I needed to pull off the shifter. Seen on the workbench
NOTE: When you pull the shifter, there is an anti-rattle button (the white thing in the next picture) and a spring at the front of the shifter. Before releasing the last bolt, wrap a rag around the front to hold the released plunger in place. Otherwise, a good chance of going ping 😛
And this is what the shifter and knob look like
I had another shifter, and a friend of mine cut it down 2". I picked a cheap molded knob off Amazon. I have a similar shifter knob on the TR3a.
Now, the comparison between the original and the modified one. TADA!
At this point, I didn't comprehend just how short the new shifter was going to be LOL. Time to reinstall in the car. The centre console assembly is a whackload of screws and parts. Always fun, take pics as each part comes off. Don't forget to bag and tag the parts and screws LOL
With the shifter boot, it was a tight fit. But I made it work. Look forward to running with this.
