this is the one I've got with the knob already
how do you "remove" the stock stick off the shifter box? is it a roll pin or bolts holding the stick?

Hi, I have fitted one before (Old KAD). Once you twist the cup at the bottom and remove the original stick, you will then need to knock out the two rolled pins in the original housing with a centre punch (being carefull not to munt the alloy housing!  ). Then the two new screws that come with the KAD gearstick in the new alloy collar screw into these holes. Be sure to keep the two rolled pins, incase you want to remove it later and replace to original. 
I have not included in the above instructions where you smash your fingers with the mallet and drive the centre punch into your knee! Best of luck... One thing I have always wondered is whether these quickshifts quickly shift your syncro's into the rubbish bin? |

The quickshift only shifts the fulcrum point of the gearstick. Unless your not using your clutch or flat changing i cant see why it would destroy synchros. |

If you force the gearbox to make quicker shifts (quickshift?  ) it will screw the syncros. They only work at a set speed. It does not matter what gearchange you have you can still break the syncros, but with a quickshift you can do it easier.

MMmmm! I thought the quickshifts might do it faster too! Regardless, they feel nice when swapping gear and bring the stick closer to the driver...just don't rush it too much has always been the key to making gearboxes last.

whats the easiest way to removing the rolled pin on the house? I tried removing this but no space for my pin punch and it'll be on an angle... |
