body lift problems

[Turbo Tonka]

hey just done a bodylift on my 94 dual cab lux. 2 inch. apart from the longer fuel filler hose i needed i put it all back together than when i went to change gears it popped out of second n fourth. it only does it with the centre console in with the leather boots, but not with just the rubber ones under the console. any ideas, just straighten it a bit??????thankz

Heat the gear lever with an oxy and bend it slightly. Works a treat

Make sure you pack wet rags round the stick!!!!!!! Otherwise you will destroy the rubber bushes that are inside the stick that stop vibrations from the road. You want to use the absolute minimum heat you can get away with.

As another option you can cut and re-weld the gearstick to any length or angle that works for you.

take the circlip out that holds the stick in then bend it,

if u like ur car burnt to the ground take the oxy to the inside of it

thanx for that fellas. when i get around to it i will take it out and bend it. i still have to lift my tub yet, only got the cab done.

It may not be the gear lever. When i did mine i bent the gear lever to suit and then the rubber boot was stopping it from engaging 2nd and 4th gears. You need to modify the boot.

oh ok thanks mate, in what way. it works now with just the rubber boot, when the consoles in it pops out. how do i modify the boot to suit.

First take the boot out and put the console back in and drive it and see if it pops out. Ifit does it just means the boot is getting in the way of the gear lever and the floor, you can either muck arounf bending the lever more, or just cut away a little of the boot.
