Type 9 Gearbox Extender - stiff change
Hi all
I've finally got around to stripping the interior and in the process adding a tiger gearbox remote extende to the avon. All seems to be ok,
however it now seems very hard to get into reverse and 5th gear. when I say stiff it gone from smooth as silk to a proper gym workout getting reverse
and a grit your teeth fight to get it into 5th. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th are fine.
Is this normal and to be expected , appreciate its not likely to improve the link, I've thrown on loads of grease but it doesnt seem to make a
difference?
Any ideas?
Cheers

Fitted the Tiger remote to my S6 - not the finest piece of engineering.
I needed to quite a bit of adjustment to get it just right - this included opening up some of the mounting holes IIRC. Overall shouldn't be
tight on the gear selections.
I'd say loosen the three mounting bolts and try a few different positions to see if it improves.

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Tigers remote is pants to say the least. I had one and rang to complain, they said there was a batch that was made badly and to send it back for an
exchange. I did and the next one was as bad!!
I bought a very good one from (dare i say it ) GTS Tuning.
But basically its the same the one most people sell and also the ones on ebay.
Try MAC#1 on 01142511016.

*If* its similar to the Westfied one sometimes it's necessary to put either one or two plain washers under the monting holes
This seems to sort any alignment issues
