C's Copy Hard To Install.. Please Help

[chiblake]

hello i bought i c's copy shifter on ebay for a r33 gearbox

yes yes i know its cheap but it was a quick fix as im buying a house

the problem i face is with the plate and c clips that secure the shifter

the plate doesnt seem to fit onto the box properly and my only option is to get longer bolts or shave off some of the gearbox to make it fit a little better

this is the product i got

can anyone tell me if there is a easier or better way to fit this shifter

any help will be appreciated

thanks

Don't modify the gearbox in any way. That would end in tears if you decide to get a decent short shifter down the track.

My advise if it wont fit without mods its not worth doing, you run the risk of something going wrong.

Just put the original on and drive.

My c's fit really easily and took maybe half an hour to install.

Did it come with new bolts? i think the c's supplied some slightly longer bolts.

just get some longer bolts thats what i did with mine when changed from rb20 bot to rb25 box

thanks for the info guys

i was considering putting longer bolts on but does it fit securely when i do so and be safe to drive

yeh im kinda against modding the gearbox slightly so yeh ill try to longer bolts

the c's copy i have fits everythin but r33 and longer bolts should also have been supplied incase of this but oh well
