6. Absolutely no wrestling with gear locations, especially when sticking the boot in and changing gears quickly.

Summary: With all the mods Ive done, I wish I had done this one first. Its a different car to drive, highly recommend. Once again, awsome unit Mal.

I like. The bane of my manual shifting is getting into 2nd really quickly (unless I wrench hard to make sure).

Mal, can you recommend someone in the Canberra/Sydney area for fitting (or should I just go to Ford)? I'm in Canberra until late Nov, then I'll be living in Adelaide from then on.

Also Mal could you shed some light on whats involved in fitting one of these units for those of us interested in having a crack ourselves.

Thanks

Drop your gearbox , four bolts on the top were the shifter is .. remove them, remove crappy OEM item, fit MAL WOOD shifter, use correct sealant b4 doing so, while your there you might as well throw in a Mal Wood CSC (slave Cyl) and Mal Wood fluid line.. and then you will have a perfect T56... Oh and 4L of transmax Z....

I have done all this on mine .... and it feels bulletproof..... :smilielol:

do you have to drop the box to fit it??

as I have been told you can do it from the top...

You have to drop the centre bearing mount, crossmember and undo the exhaust to let the rear of the gearbox hang, and then do it from underneath. The box does not have to be removed. Ben.
