Hi all
Got a FJ60 5 speed box to remove very soon, how do you remove the main gear stick ? all i see are two ( unsure ) like pop rivets on either side of the stick.
Hope some one gets what i mean, I want to be able to remove the motor and gear box in one hit, then remove gear boxx and housing from motor.
TT

Push down on the tin cup shaped bit that surrounds the bottom of the gearstick in the top of the gearbox and turn it. Those two lugs go through into the centre and act like the bayonet fitting on a light globe.

Don't lose the washer that is under the ball part of the gear lever.
Maybe good idea to replace it (20c)
I had one which disintergrated on me and lost the gears. It holds the gear lever up at the critical height for the gear shift to work.
