Comrade's short shift

[riko666]

on the Cynos, there's two push-clips behind the center console (into the footwell) that hold the gearshift surround to the center console. You then have to unscrew the whole part (screws are by the front and rear seat mounts), shift it back a bit then with a bit of wriggling you can work the gearshift surround part loose

A 5 minute job? Took me nearly 3 hours! The bolts were an absolute bitch to undo and then trying to get the wish bones to line up again was a nightmare. :flame:

Still, done now. Thats the first thing I've done to my car, everything else has been done by the garage. I feel quite proud!

Anyone got any idea about the Comrade short shift?

lol sorry fella mine really did only take 5 mins, although i use an impact wrench, but still 3 hours are you sure?

Yes mate, not 3 hours dead but the best part of 3 hours. Did have kinda false start though, thought I'd be able to jack 1 side up, sort it then jack the other side up and do that side. Really helps to jack both sides up at the same time.

Anyone fitted a C short shift? How the hell do you get the original gear stick out of its ball socket? I'm proper struggling with mine.
