85 Hilux - not had it long - when I'm in low 4 I cant directly change from 1st to second as the main gear lever hits the smaller one on the way thru.
anyone had this happen - what is likely cause/remedy?
gear levers hit each other in low 4
gear levers hit each other in low 4
Cheers Brett
So did the surf that i've got when I did the body lift. I did bend the levers to fit thru the tunnel hole tho.
It sometimes gives me the craps when going hard out in bog and I slap it from 1st low to 2nd (over vigourously in excitment)and it knocks the transfer lever into neutral
, and your're sitting there revving with no drive thinking bugger what have I broken now
Curse curse swear, then you quietly slip it back into gear red faced and carry on.

I would Just about garantee that its the little plastic bush on the bottom of the lever.
At work we had a few that were pushing the 200,000K mark that were doing the same thing. Standard, no body lifts.
Wear on the nylon bush can be accelerated if the rubber boot over the leaver onto the gear box is buggered.
