Yesterday I went in balls deep and replaced the gear stick which was badly worn with excessive play which was causing poor gear changes.

Bit of an odd set up, the handbrake and gear stick sit on a platform which bolts to the underneath of the floor. The exhaust runs underneath this platform.

Old gearstick out. It's in a bad state, the grease was dry and the nylon bushes were shot.

This is the centralisation/neutral shaft. These have a habit of drying out and wearing out the top hat bushes. When this happens the gear stick won't centralise when in neutral.

All fitted and working super smooth. I also fitted a short shift kit to the selector plate but forgot to get pics. Also fitted a new nylon motorsport knob.

Today I replaced the whole exhaust system and deleted the 3 cats which are very restrictive. First off is an early 156 cf2 exhaust manifold.
