New car -Shifter unknown

[dirk07]

Surprisingly in a lately bought car wasnt the Original 72 shifter installed.

Looks like a here in Germany not that so well known WEVO,or?

In the top plate isn't a engraving.

Chuck,

so this shifter is a good one.

Are you familar with Rennshifter.
I would like to replace ball socket and shift Tube bushing.
Is it possible to do this without removing the shifter base?

Not possible to change ball cup and bushing without removing the shifter base. In all a fairly simple job, loosen 5 screws and a set screw (to have access to this setscrew I normally also loosen the shift rod at the shift coupler side, another setscrew). I have the same shifter in my car.

What Peter said Dirk.........

It's a good shifter...
I find it less 'notchy' then the Wevo (also a very good product)...
Mine took a bit of fiddling with adjustments, but once dialed in it's been great...

Ok. So I have to remove the new carpet which was installed later with a small cutout.

Do I have to adjust the shifter after I have removed the base and changed the ball socket and shift Tube bushing?

I better explain the problem: since my last Ralley at first of may upshifting is sometimes hard, ok first was always hard to get in, first gear plots out when shifting to second and downshifting from 5th to 4th sounds several times not that nice.

Not entirely sure what problems you are experiencing. A not so nice sound could either mean worn synchros or a misadjusted shifter, clipping reverse.

In any case, there is a manual for adjusting the shifer on the jwest site, if i remember correcty is putting it in neutral, adjust the coupler until the stick is vertical and centered. Then loosen the stops on the shifter housing and make sure that once in gear there is still a little play before hitting the stop.

If adjusted properly already, there should not be much issue when just removing the shifter housing and shift rod by removing the setscrews.
