Hello.
Could anyone advise whether a lhd gearstick can be used to replace a snapped rhd stick on a 1995 1.9 5 speed petrol transporter, and if so are there any disadvantages?
All help gratefully received.
Thanks
Eamon

are you sure its a 1995? south african?
yes it cab be used , it will just point towards the passenger and you will nbeed long arms!
if you know a good welder cut it and turn it before the bend so it will be the same as a rhd stick
you can bend it ,but chances are it will snap or not be quite right.

Many thanks.
Sorry about the incorrect description,I am new to this game and thought that "Transporter" was a generic name. The van is a Holdsworth pop top conversion with solid sides.
Again, thanks for your help.
