The missus has been whinging about the long gear-throw of her AE93 SX seca, so i decided I'd do something about it.... cos i hate whinging.
Now this one was surprisingly pretty simple, and is something I feel is often overlooked by you Corolla folk.....
Teh Cheap AE92 Quickshiftah
STEP 1:
Get ye to your local self serve wreckers. Pick'n'payless is my no.1 choice
STEP 2:
Find an AE101/AE102 manual, and reef out the gearstick selector assembly.
STEP 3:
Go home, and pull the selector assembly from your AE92...
you should now have two sets of parts like this. Note the extra length of the AE101 shifter arms here!!
STEP 4:
Take the spring and the little side pivot arm off the AE92 shifter, we will be using this one!
STEP 5:
Assemble, using the two AE101 parts shown above, as well as the side pivot arm and spring form your AE92.
NOTE: You will have to space up the side pivot arm about 6-8mm, otherwise the side cable will catch on the floor.
You can see here that I did this using a couple of nuts as spacers.
NOTE: You also need to take note of how the little spring thingy goes back on, otherwise the stick won't centre itself very well/at all.
And here's the whole thing assembled.... and finished:
...... butt scratcher?!
