You about Dave? Need some SD1 advice... I've just bought a workshop manual to help with my tinkering on the car, but until it terms up I thought you might know the answer to this question - can you remove the remote gearchange assembly on the LT77 box without removing the box itself? I'm hoping you can, as it would save me some hassle in the short term as I'll hopefully be able to fix the current gear change issue and renew the mounting bushes at the same time!

Yup. Simply get under the car and remove the four bolts securing it to the rear cover. And the reversing light electrics, obviously. You need to wiggle the lever to disengage the pin from the selector rod and that's it. > I'm hoping you can, as it would save me some hassle in the short term as > I'll hopefully be able to fix the current gear change issue and renew > the mounting bushes at the same time! All pretty straightforward. In general, there aren't too many gotchas on these cars. Signature*Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.

Excellent, thats nice and easy. >> I'm hoping you can, as it would save me some hassle in the short term as >> I'll hopefully be able to fix the current gear change issue and renew >> the mounting bushes at the same time! > > All pretty straightforward.

But hopefully I can get it off, sort out whatevers broken, renew all the bushes with poly ones and be left with a working gearchange that shifts much better than before!! > > All pretty straightforward.

Don't expect the shift to be particularly pleasant, though, even when perfect. Luckily it's not much needed with all that torque.

Luckily it's not much needed with all that torque. Even as it is it's better than some cars I've had, so I'm not too fussed TBH!! I can live with it and thats the main thing >> You about Dave? > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > All pretty straightforward. In general, there aren't too many gotchas on > these cars. Work shop manual arrived today. Soooo much better than the Haynes, and will hopefully be the end of me bugging you ;) |
