TVR Chimaera gearbox remote bushes

Post by Bart »

Recently the clutch on my TVR Chimaera changed, and when I got it back it wasn't long before I couldn't get 1st 2nd and 3rd.

It's got the T5 box.

The mechanic took it back and I can now get all the gears -- he said he adjusted the remote at the end of the push rod where it fastens to the rose joint in the bell housing, but I am not certain there is an adjustment??

Anyway, it looks like all the bushes are worn, including the ball joint thing, so I have ordered new ones. I am going to tackle this myself, but I can't really get far enough under the car safely. It looks like I can do it from through the transmission tunnel, providing I can get the gear lever out to make room for my hands to get the ball joint out. When I have undone the two bolts that go through the push rod, will the tube slide off the inner rod that is bolted to the rose joint in such a way that I can get it back on, so that I can remove the gear stick?
