Haven't seen a tutorial for this yet and since I've just fitted mine I thought I might as well take some pics and put em up for all to see.
Top tip, take your ash tray out and use it to keep all your screws/clips together.
First off you need to get all the trim that surrounds the hand brake and gear stick, you'll need to remove these
at the back of the hand brake trim
inbetween the gear stick and hand brake
in the foot well
You'll then be able to remove all the trim and you'll have something looking like this
Take a couple of minutes to admire the Jap scratch cards, they're pretty!
use a screw drive to lever the clips that hold the gear rod thingys in place (hope I'm not getting too technical for everyone!
)
take the pin off the gear rod thingy and undo the 4 bolts that hold the gear stick assembly in place
you'll then be able to turn it over and get to the second gear rod thingy
You'll then have this
Time for one of these
and one of these
thats the easy bit over.
Now you'll need to strip it all down so you can fit all the Comrade's bits. Its a bit of a bitch tbh but lots of swearing and a few cigarettes and you'll be sorted.
this bastard is the enemy
it was a nightmare to get off, in the end I took a hack saw to it. The post that it holds in place is also a nightmare to get out. I found that turning green, developing long ginger hair and roaring alot helped.
The ball socket that holds the gear stick is also a bitch (anyone see a theme here?) I took a hack saw to that too. Probably not the best idea but cutting down one side gave it enought play to pop the gear stick out. Its all sturdy enough when you put it all back together so shouldn't be a problem, mine seems ok.
So once you've stripped it all down you'll be left with these 2 parts
Time to put all your short shift bits on.
I used this as a
reference cheers to Riko for the link.
Half way built
and the remaining parts fitted
Had these left over
Time for a
and a
Then all you need to do is go back out to your car and fit it in the reverse order of how you took it off (obviously!).
Never found anywhere for the left over parts but mine sooms ok.
Hope this helps guy, the Comrade kit feels good, gear shifts are very quick, its all very close together now.
Apart from fitting a lower arm bar this is the first mod I've done, don't be scared to get out there and have a go, it is pretty easy to do.
just previewed this and sorry, my pics are crap (cheap camera) but the pics and the link should give you enough reference to work it out.
Any questions or feedback please feel free to PM me.
