H Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 sorry guys i have been away too long but i just got my manta back on the road today ... after two years of driving automatics ( in canada and then a toyota supra for the last 6 months over here while the manta was ship-shaped ) i finally realised what ive been missing anyway when i picked her up the guys had had trouble refitting the gear level gaitor ... and i for the life of me cant work it out and cant remember how it should look when fitted ... it is sat loose in the console but i cant seem to secure it does it fit underneath ... seems like it should fit around the rim of the console but cant seem to make it work or is there another part thats missing ive searched around and only drummed up this : http://forums.mantac...__1#entry161989 any help appreciated thanks !

garymanc Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 i think you have to remove the console and fit it over the gaitor welcome back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Done this myself recently. The outer gaitor (the one you can see from inside the car) catches under the lip around the hole in the tunnel top for the gearlever, then the centre console goes on top like Gary says.

H Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 if the gaitor is two parts perhaps i am missing the inner one - i removed the console and fitted the gaitor around the top lip on the steel tunnel then fitted the console over which pushes it down ( otherwise it was riding off the steel lip ) ... still looks wrong to me although has eliminated most of the engine noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
