Hi all,a mate is having problems finding a gear lever [5 speed right hand drive jx ] "Brickwerks" are out of stock!
Any ideas?
Ta.

It's normally in the middle of the van?

I'll tell him! mines in the in the front near the dash board, whats the one in the middle of the van?

That one is installed for back seat drivers!

If its broken, get it welded. Seems a common solution.

Hi Cov,he had it pinned? and welded ,it snapped again just above the weld...
When I did mine I used a high tensile stud [tapped the two parts of the stick ] and locktite,i told his mechanic? this.

interesting to see if your gear selection is stiff or your being heavy handed with the shift.

you should be able to change gear with one finger , no struggle and it should just 'drop in'

The only reason I can see for a welded one failing (again) is because the weld was a load of pidgeon poo applied with no amps and poor prep. The gear lever tube is good quality CDS, it isn't Wickes wardrobe rail...

Even worse pushing it down for reverse.
