Has anyone sourced a good quick shift gear lever for a type 9 gearbox (fitted to a Zero)?

Quaife seems to be the best option (for a Caterham).........but I am not sure if that will fit?

 

Thanks

a few of us have done the "homemade" route.

 

 

And it works every much as good as an expensive one, took me about 10 minutes to do !

Hi Mike,

Ive been using a home mades q/shift for the last 5 years, but I treated myself to a new

Rally Design Q/shift to go with my new gearbox.

It has no instructions & I cant make head or tail of it.... :huh:

I have a rod which obviously fits the cut down original gear lever. Do you leave the rubber cushion block (the bit that fits between the top & the bottom of the lever) fitted or remove it?

An ally spacer block & 3 bolts, but I also have a split ally collar & a split plastic collar.

How do you fit it? Did you get any instructions?

Am I just suffering from a seriously long "grey" moment?

Hi Bob,

 

I got the competition kit from rally design which sounds like the one you have.

 

Heres a photo of the instructions (sorry my 1990's scanner decided not work).

 

You have to remove the top part of the old gear lever and remove the rubber bush. I had to make two cuts in the bush housing and pry the housing apart to get the the rubber out.

 

The shaft with the kit is then an interference fit on the lower lever and held with a grub screw.

 

The split palstic collar presses down on the rubber spring and is held in place by the shaft.

 

The intructions do make more sense as you do the conversion.

 

Andrew
