Default Top loader gear stick

How do I fix the gear stick that keeps poping out of the box.

Wont be a top loader, will be a single rail, you can buy a new bush for the single rail

Top loader


Single rail


Could be a T5?, if so you can buy shifters off eBay for them pretty cheap

Has to be a single rail, my 4sp XF was prone to having the shifter end up in my lap half way between Euroa and Seymour

Machine up an aluminium nut to replace the crap plastic thing that easily strips…

Edit: Seems you can buy ally replacements

My one had the added problem of a stripped thread in the housing, at the time they were rare as rocking horse shit on their own. No one wanted to sell a good one on its own.
