Long legs and gear sticks

[gillcover]

Allo ,
OK so I'm a long legged geeza,( I blame me mum) ? when Im in fifth gear my knee is up against the stick and seat right back. So I thought if I took the stick out and applied some heat then bent it forwards and inch or two ?,,,,,,,,,,mmmmm
anyone done this?
While on the gearstick thing my Hi/Low stick rattles on tick over , any suggestions on how to stop it . drive's me nuts erm well not me nuts exactly but crazy. what d'ya reckon

Hi maybe your tick-over is to low it should be around 750rpm to 800rpm.

tick over is fine thanks , I wish it had been that easy........ Ho Hum

Mine rattles as well. I've never bothered doing anything about it but as it seems the main rattle is from the large centre button I'd thing an elastic band round the knob ought to cure the noise.

I think all the 4wd buttons rattle from what i've heard , best and cheapest cure is to shove a small removable wedge between the button and the stick ie matchstick or piece of fag packet folded up !
