Gearbox tunnel cover fitted

[Richard Edwards]

Fitted a good used tunnel cover this morning to replace a broken one that came with the car

Couple of questions for the guru`s

How is the selector panel secured to the tunnel cover?

I think mine may have lugs broken off the back by the looks of it?

Second question, do both of the slushboxes use this knob?

Many thanks in an.................................................ticipation

Hi Richard.
There's a little wavey spring clip which looks like it's missing, it fits on one end of the selector panel.
Both 35/65 boxes use the same knob.

Hi Richard,

It's probably an optical illusion, but hopefully that handbrake doesn't really point up to the headlining?

It kind of does although it is not he worst I have seen, several clicks.

Victim of P and no handbrake use I would imagine

If it was set up correctly in the first place then even if you never use the handbrake it shouldn't get like that. It should adjust up equally well with use of the footbrake only.

My series 1 v8 doesn't have a knob like that it's totally round with the button in the middle

That's the very early type gearknob.

mine is in the same condition, and held in place with some bluetac... old car repairs can follow in this order...

rubber bands -
super glue -
bluetac -
cable ties, long and short and even doubled up for extra length..
string-
fencing wire- (Australian prerequisite) to b e carried at all time in the boot.
paddle pop sticks-
and if all else fails, call the NRMA, they have a better stock of fencing wire!
