I got a nice B&M quickshifter as a present from a good mate, just going to fit it now, its for my 2wd saff, im just wondering what to expect, are they any good?

They dont seem that hard to fit, anything to look out for?



cheers

NUTTIN RILLA

Right i`ve been out at this and theres no way it can be fitted from above, it says on the instructions that the two front bolts might be a bit hard to get to.............................. MA BAWS. impossable more like


surely i dont need to drop the gearbox down to get this thing in?



any help oot there

Don't know about the B&M ones but to remove the quikshift my mate had he had to drop the box slightly

not sure if it's the same on a 2wd (as mine is 4b4) but u vae to drop the box to get the retaining pin out... which holds the shifter in...

NUTTIN RILLA

Its different smit, i no what you mean tho as i helped my mate do his on his 4x4.



I got the fucker in but it was a pain in the arse, had to drop the box down a bit and half an allen key to tighten it up, a quarter turn at a time


Still its in and is working great

I didn't think you should fit a quickshift kit to the T5 box?

rabmc

Something about the quickshift beating some of the other components if I remember rightly?

NUTTIN RILLA

Anybody else give any info on this, dont want to go breaking something. surely it cant be bad for it or they wouldnt sell them

ive fitted one to mine,a burton power job,makes the box feel alot better and tighter,but i also heard that the t5 being an old design box doesnt like getting changed that quick,mine does crunch from second to third when pushed hard

b and m for a 4x4 is a must though,done it to all of mine

rapidcossie

The design of a T5 "should" make a T5 box very difficult to change but i have had no troubles in over 3 years.

I can beat the syncro of the box if i try to go too quickly tho.

i thought it was just the mtx75 that they werent good on

Apprently on the 2wd boxes when you have a B&M fitted it doesnt go into gear fully even though it feels like it has and feels tighter you dont notice it yourself but thats what happens apprently and after a few thousand miles your gearbox will end up being knackered so ive heard
