Type 9 Gear Shifts

[speedtripledan]

As one of my many winter upgrades, I decided to buy a rose jointed quick shift gear lever from Matt lewis racing, to replace the standard cut down sierra one. It improved the shifts nicely but still had a little slop so I just fitted a brass gearstick saddle from bearing kits, I now have a gear shift with no play at all. Great cheap little mod. The other thing I have gone away from is short little gearsticks back to full height with a bit of weight on the end it makes the shifts so much easier and as a result of easier quicker....

I've been buying loads of bits from both sites. For a while now, all my type 9 v6 upgrade gearbox parts came from bearing kits

Dan the listing for the quickshift makes reference to having to keep packing the rose joint with grease to prevent noise and 'buzz' from the box - sounds like a bit of a faff but have you encountered this at all? I would go with a heavy duty plastic saddle rather than brass to counter this

[speedtripledan]

No, packed with grease on fitting. Absolutely fine sense. The car rattles squeeks and howls anyway....
