"Quickshift" Gear Lever Type 9 - FORD
Ok this is a strange on- I read several months or years ago a method for converting a normal throw ford type 9 gearlever into a quickshift lever.
From what I remember it was to do the moving the piviot points.
Does anybody know how to do this or know where I read it.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

Dave Andrews' website has the instructions but I can't find the url. Somebody must have it in favourites. I did it to a couple of levers
and it works. Basically you just belt the plastic pivot at the bottom of the lever back down the shaft and then put a spacer under the three bolt
holes to the same depth. He uses 3 nuts so it would be to the thickness of the nut. You beat me to it

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I'm not too sure how a quickshift lever works. This was only a guess but i thought that a quickshift gearbox implies that a quicker shift
between the gears can be made. How can just a quickshift lever do the same, whilst retaining the same gearbox.
I'm really interested cos it sounds easy and i'm using a type 9 also.

It just move the pivot point so asmaller movement at the top results in a bigger movement at the bottom - so (as an example) you only have to move the
gear lever 1" from 1st to 2nd gear as a pose to 2" before you did the mod.

...but you do have to put more effort into changing gear - all you're doing is moving the fulcrum of the lever.

Have you read the article David, it does say that the effort is increased. I have done it on mine and shortened the lever and it doesn't make it
that much harder. I took out the rubber section when I shortened it.

Read it, done it! (and included its link in my description of a gearshift extension).
I was just pointing this out for anyone contemplating the mod - not that it's a problem anyway.

I tried knocking mine down a bit, and how ever hard i hit it, it wouldnt budge. Im resting the bottom ball joint in a vice and hitting the top of the
gear lever, its makes it harder because the lever is bent. Is there anything i need to do to make it move?

I put the flange with the three bolts on top of the vice jaws with the ball underneath, looseley between the jaws then using a lump hammer (rubber
mallet wouldn't touch it) smacked the end where the gearlever goes a few times.
Hope that helps.
P.S. You have to hit it bloody hard!
