I can't get the new shifter back into the socket. Am I just not hitting it hard enough or is there a knack to it ??

I'm still hitting it with the hammer but it's not going in.
Someone must have fitted one of these before ??

Panic over.....found myself a bigger hammer

Who's was it and has it made a difference ????

 

It's the JW Racing one. Fitting was pretty easy, even for a novice mechanic like myself. Used these instructions from Scoobymods. Had a few problems getting the shifter back in but just needed to hit it harder. Been for a quick spin to make sure it all working ok. It's just catching on the surround when in 1st gear so I'm off to B&Q in the morning to get a file to alter the surround slightly. This appears to be a know issue.

Gear changes are new very slick and suit my driving style nicely.
