done body lift, and got 2 problems

[budweiser]

after done it, its stiffer than before the lift (the steering) it doesn't "return",
what can i do to make lighter steer like before? checked fluid, and its ok.
the gear selector is not getting the gears right, any way to adjust it? thanks.

Did you slacken all 3 steering column sliding joints?

How much lift?

Gear selection isn't normally an issue, which gears can't you get?

[budweiser]

did 2" slackened 2, didn't realized there is 3 joints
if i select 2, it jumps on to L
yes it touches the rubber of the bulkhead

[stormforce]

there are the 2 joints on the shaft under the bonnet and the 3rd is under the dash.You will need to file the hole in the bulk head so the steering column is clear of the bodywork

[budweiser]

ok will do that one on the inside,
no spacers on rag joint?

[budweiser]

how do i do the gear lever?

[budweiser]

thanks, thanks

[stormforce]

the gear lever you may or may not have to do but if it is not going into gear properly then you will need to file/cut a bit out of the trans tunnel to allow the gear lever to seat in gear properly

really? i thought that's only for the 4wd lever
need to do this tomorrow now is very windy and wet out there,

Check the cable hasn't cought on something. I don't think anyone's had gear change issues after a small body lift (until now).

sorry i assumed you had a manual surf that you were having problems with it getting into gear

[budweiser]

mmm!!
got lost with so many threads!
got sorted the steering, see tonight if i can sort out the gear lever,(no idea how yet)

[Albannach]

got sorted the steering,

What was the problem with the steering?

[budweiser]

the problem with the steering, is i didnt slackened enough the 2 joints under the bonnet and i didnt at all the one on the iside.

[budweiser]
