  3. Adjust it;)
     
  4. Adjust the plate in the cab, pop it in second, undo the two bolts & move the plate slightly. Re-tighten. Check you can get reverse, third & fourth.... if not adjust again :thumbsup:

    Can you get reverse without pushing the stick down?

    I noticed. I assume you also have the half ball thing on the gear stick?

    Why is it rubbish and better in the bin?
    The empi shifter i had in worked ok but fitst gear hit the handbrake and i had to stretch to change gears.
    But the original just feels nicer also has an extension on it for short arses.

    The normsl procedure is to line up second gear, check it pulls forward into first by pulling the stick forward. Then third/ fourth should be in the correct place.

    But.. e.g. on my EMPI shifter, the gate wore 0.5mm too wide and 3rd/4th was a little to the left of the guidance of the edge of the gate, impossible to find until I welded a plate in to reduce the side to side travel of the gear stick.

    Yes it hits the hand brake too, unless the handbrake is adjusted to 5 notches or so.

    No, I quite like them.
    Put in 2nd, loosen the 2 bolts, push the lockout plate to the right until it hits the gear stick, tighten bolts.

    Push the plate to the left until it hits the stick. :rolleyes:

  17. Actually nowt wrong with those quick shift plates
    They make a nice and noticeable improvement over the stock shift.
