Hi, how do I lift the gearbox up ? I just done a body lift and would like to align the gear shifter sticks to the original height, thanks

if you lift the gearbox you will probably cause a driveshaft vibration. The flanges on the diff and gearbox have to always be parallel to prevent this. 2 other options. Cut and weld a spacer into the gearstick or enlarger the hole in the floor. (might have to do both)
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

just cut straighten and reweld the gearlever, i also put 10mm plate under g-box mount which helped, if you lift g-box to much you will have to lift the engine aswell

ok thanks, the sticks are not hitting at the body, so I guess I will do an extension and bend them, see how it goes. another thing, I am looking for a new set of shifter bushes, mine are all worn out, do you know were I can get these ?, thanks
