lc torana colum shift

hi all brough a lc a few weeks ago an has been changed to a floor shiftm, but still has the bit where the shift stick goes into the colum. an still has the bars that go to the gearbox cable tied in the engine bay.

How do i get rid of it an what will i need to replace it??

It can be done but first you need a coffee pot or lower exterior shroud below the indicator shroud and a special steel clip that screws to the lower colum to lock the inner hollow shaft/tube into position to stop it rotating and moving up & down.

The whole column needs to be removed from the car and completely stripped down. Remove the shift lever and cast housing completely and all linkages. There is a slot about 3/4" 20mm wide and 1 1/2" 40mm long with a screw hole at each end in the lower column. You need a clip that screws across that which dips in the middle into a notch in the inner shaft.

Reassemble with the new coffee pot and you have a floor shift column.

Now getting a coffee pot is not easy.

Bottom line is you only need a coffee pot and clip and any column shift can be converted.

Well seeing they are hard to find and I opened my big mouth I will just have to make you one.

Send me an email and we can go from there.
