has anyone heard of this before

[danja]

just searched again, couldnt find this topic anywhere, dunno maybe im not type something in properly, just wish that when you ask a question ( even after ive stated that ive searched and couldnt find anything) people wouldnt get hasty in their reply's.. i dont understand the need to put other people down about something, their just another fellow motoring enthusiast, trying to get some helpful info...

People who've been around for a while just get sick of answering the same question 10 times over. The search isn't best, but Google does a fair job. The "check if already posted" button is useful too.

Most people start off being very helpful, but the unlucky 100th customer who asks something that's been explained that many times before will cop a bit of flak. It's just how it is.

yeh you gotto pull the shifter off and get a grinder onto it, just grind off the step bit for 2nd gear and put it all back together, ive seen a few people do it

do you mean grinder as in operating an angle grinder/or similar whilst inside my vehicle...can it be filed or something else..i'd hate to mess up with a grinder while sitting in the passenger seat!!!

yeh angle grinder, there was a bid write up in a car magazine a couple years ago and thats how they did it, but you could just do it with a file if ya want, will take a while tho

I tried with a file and gave up after about 10 minutes, went down to bunnings and picked up a dremel... Im not sure i'd use an angle grinder either, but the dremel works well.

mines like that but i dont have troubles
when im just cruzin i put the lever down and when i wanna do something stupid i pull it up and there ya go

and awesome for your auto by the sounds of it!
i know people that take the springs out of the auto shifter so you dont need to hold it up. quite silly really considering its not hard to knock them from D to R..
