Have already trawled thru the'Net, but without success.

I'm looking for a replacement gear lever retaining ring, for a Capri 4-speed g/box. This is denoted as a Type 3 g/box, on the Burton-Power web site, although Haynes refers to it as a Type C. The gear lever is retained in place by a screw-on nylon cup, with integrated tab-washer.

Irritatingly, I remember sighting a pic of this precise item, but didn't follow it up, because it was a US site. Which I cannot now find.

So, other than splashing out on a Rally Design quickshift, is there anywhere else where Capri gearbox spares can be obtained?

Yes, I've tried a local Ford parts counter (the reply, accompanied by ironic laughter, was - "You'll be lucky, mate!!".

Have a look on this forum:

I'm sure someone on there will either have one or be able to point you in the right direction.

they are a great bunch of guys and I was a member for many years when I owned my Capri. (In fact I only sold it to make room for the locost project) Give me a mention I'm sure they'll remember me.

Aside from that you could try GMS capri spares or Speed Shack.

All the best,
