4.

Slide the pin remover onto the top of the gearstick (fig. 4).
Thread the longer of the M5 slot screws into the threaded hole of
the pin remover, making sure to line up the end of this screw with
the roll pin as shown in figure 5. Watch the pin as you wind the
screw in, it should push easily out the other side (fig. 6). If not,
stop and check the screw is properly aligned with the pin.










5.

Once the pin comes out completely, remove the screw and pin remover. The reverse lock cable will
spring down at this point; don’t worry, it will be retrieved during re-assembly.


6.

Cut the cable tie that holds the reverse lock
cable to the gearstick (fig. 7). Using the two
12mm spanners, remove the bolt that holds the
linkage to the gearstick (fig. 8).

7.

Use the circlip (or needle-nose) pliers to
remove the circlip retaining the gearstick ball
cup (fig. 9). Pull up on the gearstick as you
close the circlip, it should lift out once the
circlip clears its groove. Pull the reverse lock
cable out of the gearstick as you lift it out.











8.

Transfer the ball cup and circlip to the GFB gearstick (the ball cup
spreads apart easily to allow this), making sure there is sufficient
grease in the cup. Remove the silver plastic boot collar (undo 2
phillips head screws from underneath), reverse lever, spring, and
rubber spring seat from the factory gearstick and fit them onto the
GFB gearstick (fig. 10). Slip the factory steel sleeve into the
bushings in the GFB gearstick, again ensuring there is sufficient
grease on both parts.


9.

Replace the assembled GFB gearstick back into the factory
position, and fasten it in place with the circlip.
