Bobtail Discovery Slickshift Fitting |
|
The Synchro Gearboxes Slickshift is essentially a short shift kit. It's been available for years and has always been on my 'to buy' list, I noticed this week that they're out of stock in a lot of places so I grabbed one from the one supplier that had them, before the prices rocket or they become unavailable. This Discovery has an R380 fitted from a 1994 model but the Discovery 1 kit fits LT77 and R380
Step 1. Remove the centre console. Feeling like a genius for splitting the console for easy removal.
Step B. Observe the old retaining plate, bias springs and rubber thing you can't see. Remove them.
Step III. Pull the gear stick out - mine was stuck in really well and I had to use a long bar to pop it out.
Step 4. Fit the spacer along with the new retaining cup thing, smear it all with grease.
Step E. Place the fancy anodised cap on top to look sexy, it has a recess machined in it for the rubber thing that you can't see.
Step VII. Bolt it all down with the new bias springs and adjuster. The adjuster should be set up so 3rd and 4th are in a straight line.
Step 9. Put the centre console back together, and you're finished!
