Anyone got a pic of the position of the shifter mounted in either the mk3 or mk4 please? I want to paint the underside of the car but don't want to do it until I've welded a plate with threaded inserts over the original hole! I've got the shifter but not the cables yet so can't see the correct position.
Thanks

I haven't got a pic mate but the hole is about 8" from the gear stick

Ah cool, thank you mate.

I hope these help mate, the way I did it was I sat the gear selector in place then fixed centre console into its original holes, positioned selector to where I wanted it to sit, removed console and drilled n fixed selector into place.

Can you still keep the centre console with the mtx gear selector?

no the shifter sits to high. well you could but you would have to cut lots out of it and would look a mess

rsbondy

Yes u can keep the centre console, only a small part needs cut out near the front of selector surround, can see it in my first pic and once gators on its hardly noticeable

the gaiter wont fit over the mtx shifter the standard one anyway.

rsbondy

No not in standard form no but slightly modified because of the lift up reverse yes! Nothing is a straight forward fit, mtx wasn't made for these cars, need to roll the sleves up n make it fit fella. 👍

What cables are they ? as they look alot shorter than the ones I have. Yours fit alot better than mine.

Transit Connect cables are shortest/neatest.

Sorry mate not got any pics of it all together yet, car has been a bare shell rebuild and interior will be last to go in should have it complete in the next couple of months.

Cables and selector came from an 04 focus tdci.
