If you research others who had tried using the Tiger
Gear Remote you will find may who are not pleased by it. First
job, if you hand done it already was to remove the reverse stop. I
had done this before the gearbox went into the car. The stop is
difficult to get out and the best way is to use a tool that you can make
up that will lever the stop out. I used something similar to the
design posted on the yahoo tiger forum. A copy of the document is
below: NOTE IF ANYONE IS UNHAPPY THAT I HAVE COPIED THIS DOCUMENT FROM THE FORUM PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL REMOVE IT FROM MY SITE IMMEDIATELY
Tiger supply a piece of metal, a modified gear stick and a spring loaded bar, with rose joint to act as the new gear stick. Its a simple case of drilling through the modified gear stick, cutting the bar into 2 equal lengths, the using 2 nuts and bolts sandwiching the modified gear stick and new gear mechanism between the 2 pieces of metal. Top tips from Tiger are to make sure that the 2 pieces of metal are sloping slightly so the the front (bit joined to the modified gear stick) is slightly higher that the back. This allows good force to be applied to the modified gear stick when selecting 1st, 3rd and 5th. Also, use plenty of grease, make sure the surfaces are smooth, round off the metal ends and do not try and make the sandwich too tight. I experimented and although it is not as good as a production car, or perhaps what you can achieve with a Westfield Remote, selecting gears seems ok. Finally, a bolt and 2 nuts is used as a reverse stop and this needs to be adjusted to get a good position for 1st gear. Not perfect but it works: |
