Vs getrag 5speed servicing questions
Hey guys, Havent had much to do with a manual before but now ive bought a 5 Speed S2 vs and the box needs some TLC
The Gearstick is quite sloppy when its in gear it flops around. Now ive been told this could be a piece of rubber but im not too sure which one .
Also is there ment to be a trans dipstick in the engine bay like on a auto as i swear i couldnt see one the other night when i had a look.
What needs to be done when servicing the gearbox as i havent found a write up yet explaning much on the manuals at all.
Cheers for any info thats given

Yeah ive read about it and id love a rip shifter but surley a normal getrag cant be this sloppy lol do you have to drill out the rivets to change the shifter?

Under the console/ Shifter plate ect? or from under the car?

Dont drill the rivets. Just remove the plastic plate around the shifter and then the black rubber seal between the shifter and the gold coloured plate. The shifter connects to the gearbox with two nuts the are removed from under the car. There is also two rods underneath that connect to the shifter that you'll need to disconnect.
There is no trans oil dipstick on a manual box, just a drain bolt on the bottom and a filler plug in the middle on the drivers side of the box.

well i replaced everything i could in the shifter and its still shit lol. If anyone has a photo of the exact rubber that wears out that would be fantastic

i am also interested in this particular answer as my getrags shifter is shithouse 2, although everyone u hear of owning one comments on the sloppy feel.
yeah my getrag is like moving around a screwdriver in a bucket, just crap.
surely they weren't as bad as mine, i had a feel of a t5 in a vs series 1 with the same amount of kays and it felt amazing in comparison.

sorry to dig up an old thread.. i was going to create a new post but no point when there has been numerous posts in the pasts.
my question is... Has anyone replaced the shifter with a standard shifter from holden?? if so did this fix the problem(sloppy shifter) and how long has it lasted?
cheers
