5-Speed Gear Lever and Linkage, centre console, possibly tunnel top..

[Rick-Manta]

I don't suppose anyone has a gear lever with its connecting linkage (to the input shaft) and the flat bracket/plate thingy, that sits at the back of the 5-speed gearbox please?

I'm also going to be needing the plastic centre console from a 5-speed car and maybe a tunnel top section if anyone has them.

Thanks.

Have a tunnel too and a gear linkage available

I have a 5 speed console I should get rid of.

Realistically I love my 3 speed auto and im more likely to do an electric conversion when petrol gets scarce than I am a 5 speed conversion.

I like your optimism 😀

I know theres far too much money invested in classic cars to let petrol just disappear but there's going to be costs and limitations.

I'm only 32. I think power train technology will be drastically changed by the time I go. I'll stay petrol or petrol substitute for a long time as the lovely rumble and shudder is part of the appeal. But I think an auto gearbox/shifter is better suited to an alternative power train (hydrogen, electric etc) that might be slightly overpowered as the hydraulic clutch should reduce damage and the shifter positions translate better.

Who knows, if anything major goes wrong with the block, alternatives may be cheap enough that I can throw a battery from a write-off in the boot and make something that'll get me to VBOA Rally each year.
