gear selector pivot thing help please

[farnzie97]

hi everyone.
OK i really need some help people cause i don't really no to much about this so any help would be appreciated and could you please go into as much detail as you can so i can understand, Is the gear selector pivot thing that bolts down on top of the gear box adjustable????i think my gear lever is to far forward cause when it is in first my hand touches the radio can it be adjusted???
thanks

[Mungrel]

no its not adjustable AFAIK..

Any chance of some pics for us to have a look at?

This is the first one i've heard about being too far forward., Something isn't right if its hitting the cd player.
Does it hit in 3rd and 5th as well?

thanks

lol

Sorry to take this off track a little but does anyone have the same problem as me.. I find sometimes when I am driving rather spiritedly:jester: that when changing into first I sometimes hit the radio with my fingers. I usually push from behind the gear knob as I dont have a ripshift and find it always seems to go in when pushing from the side and not above..

Rather annoying... wooooooooooooooooot 2nd wooooooooooooooot 3rd wooo.... wtf where did ACDC go? stupid scan button!!! :lmao:

Hi champ

I had the same problem at some point when i had changed my shifter to HRT8 Special, Turned out i attached the top half of the shifter to the wrong side of the bottom half of the shifter. Was smacking the stereo hard on fast changes :)

take the boot & knob off & have look to see if thats what your issue is.

haha, my first post was gonna say check that but after typing it i thought "Surely no-one would have done something that stupid!" and changed it :rofl: guess i was wrong lol (no offence)

But anyways, so everyone knows which way it should be on...

hey
ok i pulled the gear knob off after a slight struggle, and this is the pic that i took, from what i can gather the gear knob has been put on the wrong side of the stick, It should be on the drivers side of the stick shouldn't it.
