Quickshift Fitting MY99/00 ?
Would I be right in thinking that the only tools required to fit a quickshift to an MY99/00 box are a screwdriver, ratchet and 2lb hammer. And that you don't even have to get out of the car.
The descritpion on ScoobyMods implies you just pop out the ball joint, then push the new one in.
I thought there was a circlip or something, but maybe thats the older MY92-MY96 box.
I was gonna get my mechanic to fit it while the gearbox is out, but I don't think I'll bother now. Just in case there are any issues with the box/clutch after refitting.
I'll fit the quickshift myself once I'm happy with his work.

Scott,
I believe that is correct yes.. just takes a lot of pulling/leverage to get the old one out of the ball joint and then hammering to get the new one in.

Easy job you will have no problem with. Just follow the advice above. A flat length of wood may be helpful, depending on the nylon ball joint you have to lever the gear lever up using a pair of vice grips clamped to the lever. Also a flat bit of wood to protect the gear *** thread when knocking it in.

Put the gear lever into 2nd gear and then push down it should pop out of the ball joint very easily.
If your replacement gear lever is is the same ie. altered fulcrum position. All you have to do is to temporarily screw the **** back on. Place the lever vertically on top of the ball join and then just whack it with the palm of you hand. It should go back in.
Just remember to transfer as much of the grease from the original lever onto the new one.
I managed to chang mine over in around 10 min. That also included taking the boot and surround off.
