I had this shifter from new (about 2 years, but its only gone a few hundred miles), and on my old 1380 it did develope a severe crunch, the gearbox was brand new so i suspected/redesigned the internal shifter mount to no avail, then the flywheel fell off so, its been sat around since.

basically now the engines back in 1 piece, im trying to sort it out once more, and after many hours/grief trying to figure out why the car wont go into gear, ive found the problem is the q/shift.

its a kad one, and when i took the gear stick out for the remote housing, the ball on the very end is absolutely fucked, like a dogs been chewing on the top half of it, it should be held on by 2 circlips, but i found the bottom one in all the grease inside, which isnt all that shitty, so im guessing its been too low in the shifter and all the forces have been going through the top half or 1/3, instead of being spread across the whole ball, causing it to mince.

thought it would be an easy fix, just swapping the ball off another remote setup, but it appears that the std balls are 1, next to impossible to get off, and 2, once off, completely different internally and incompatible.

Would really like to sort this this weekend, anyone got any ideas?

failing that ill give kad a shout.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

I know you are a young man having spent the afternoon with you under my gazebo but you have at least 12 more years before it would not be an offence!
