Shifter + Shifter Bushing

Holder Bracket

Lower Dust Boot

Upper Dust Boot

I could also do with some instructions. I have done a search but I cant find any.

 

TA. :duffer:

I have posted a complete list in the past, so search in my old posts.

Only instructions I'm aware of are here :- http://www.z1motorsports.com/PDFs/Autoto5spconversion.pdf

Thanks Andy, I will do the search in a bit.

 

Those arnt really instructions, more of a guideline TBH......

 

Do I really have to remove the engine too?? Its step by step instructions for a novice mechanic that I am looking for.

 

Maybe JeffTT could do some, he's done plenty I am sure.

No, you don't need to remove the engine.

Shaunmac has done one too.

BTW - when they say it 'can be difficult' to remove the auto pilot bushing, what they really mean is..

 

It's a complete f*cking ballache! ;)

 

Ask Andy (Duff) and me how we know :rofl:

 

Easier if you can heat the crank up and use a pilot bushing removal tool I'm sure, but without one.. jeez, what a nightmare that was.

LOL you gave up but perseveirance paid off in the end ;) There's actually a puller tool you can buy to make the whole job easier, I'll try and find a link ;)

what kind of money is it for someone to do this from start to finish (parts and labour)??

 

I have an auto and would love 2 have it converted to manual!!

much more fun!!

 

apologies in advance if I start the manual v's auto debate ;)

See, now I just need to know what a 'auto pilot bushing' is?!?

 

Where art thou instructiones????

I feel like I am getting in over my head but I love a challenge!! :)

Never had a problem with them :D used a slide hammer on the last one worked a treat! or the other way is to find something that fits the hole nicely then fill with grease and then tap the thing in the hole, it will just pop out :tongue:

LOL tried everything but the slide hammer. That thing was JAMMED big style - that just pissed me off even more so it had to come out in even smaller pieces ;) LMFAO

The auto pilot bushing is in the end of the crankshaft - the gearbox input shaft runs inside it basically. That needs to come out and be replaced with a pilot bushing for a manual box :)

Thats the kind of thing I was talking about - although at that price a bit expensive for a one off job :(
