Not much space in there.



Oh get new roll pins.

So screw that one then. I edited my post from before. I misunderstood what you meant by "your linkage". Thanks for the help!

Posting again because I have to say thanks once more. You don't have to help people, you don't have to go out your way to educate people, but you do. Appreciate all the pictures and pointers.

There was a thread here on overhauling the shifter

That looks like a bit more than what I want. Essentially you're modifying the entire way that the shifter is mounted?

 

Would you suggest removing the gear linkage entirely to make the changes I an wanting to do or just removing it for inspection and rebuilding?

It's the gearbox itself that provides the 'H' gate, the gearstick is just a lever that moves the link rod via a ball and socket.

Have a look from underneath for free play while someone moves the stick for you. You can also remove the bottom cover plate to see stick in the ball socket. A set of mole grips are handy for holding bits to isolate free play to individual parts.

Cheers, will get under it this weekend and have a look.
