Spring Location help

[neilw]

Hi,

Wonder if somebody can help me. I've just re-fitted my standard shifter, after removing my B&M short shifter.

It looks like I'm missing a part which holds the spring in place, just wanted some body to confirm, if im not missing a bit how does the spring fit?

[alexperkins]

The lower side of the spring goes underneath the leaver to the left of it, the upper side on top I think. Its been a while since I fitted mine though so I cant be 100%

[neilw]

Cheers Alex. I can see how it fits over the leaver, what I'm unsure of is what stops it moving back, and out of place.

[alexperkins]

It might be the other way around though...I think they cross for tension

[neilw]

I'll go and try. it would be unlike me to loose a part. I'm normally pretty careful. Had a look in the Haynes manual but its a very grainy photo.

[alexperkins]

Ill be at my workshop later, so will take a photo

[neilw]

That'll be awesome Alex. Thanks alot.

I've discovered I'm missing abit. Found the B&M instructions online and discovered this part



Does anybody have access to VAGCAT? could they look up a part number for me? I can't seem to register at the mo.

[alexperkins]

Wheres the bit that came off yours?

[neilw]

No Idea I took out that shifter about 5 years ago when i fitted the B&M.

Could be anywhere, it'll be easier to buy a new bit.

[alexperkins]

I might have a spare bit...ill look tomorrow

Cheers Alex. Let me know how much you want for it if you find it.
