Manual Gearstick

[PajeroNL]

Does anyone know how to disassemble the gear stick and transfer stick.



The boots on the top of the gearbox and transfer case are perished and need replacing. I have new ones on order, but can’t work out how to undo the bronze coloured part of the shaft from the lower shaft to slide on a new boot.

Thanks

I do not think the bronze sections are removable from the lower section of the levers.
I suspect you will have to remove the top plate where the levers enter the transmission and dissemble from the underside. Take extra care to note where each bolt comes out of as they may be different lengths. Also normally there is a nylon ball/bush on the end of the levers and these tend to crack and break into several pieces so when you remove the levers th can fall apart!

Thanks. Will look at when the parts arrive and I strip down. What is confusing me is there is a circlip inside the bronze part. I have pulled that out but could not see how it disassembles, which makes it a bit odd what the circlip is for.

I have purchased the nylon bush and gaskets as well so hopefully no other bits to replace.

The top shifter sections are screwed to the lower part but I believe that they are loctited or similar together. I have never been able to separate without damaging parts

If they are anything like other shifter sticks I've come across they are almost moulded in place with a rubber goop or similar (to stop vibrations I assume)

Just replace the boots from the bottom when you have the stick out to change the bushings.
