as you prob know, im in the middle of restoring and converting a mk2 cab to v6.
well the engine is in and running, sounds great bit loud but pop pop grunt bang
anyways few people asked the other day on another thread how hard it is to do the selector conversion.
well the answer is it's a piece of p155.
things you need,
1) gte 16v gearbox mount,
2) gte 16v- mk3 astra-cav mechanism and gear stick (complete with throw bar)
3) 25mm hole cutter.
How to do it.
1) Remove gearbox mount and fit 16v one,
2) Remove mk2 selector totally from car,
3) Remove centre console,
4) Weld small plate over old selector hole,
5) Place new gear selector throw bar over plate and position it as far back to the lip just behind old hole, ( about 2/3 inches you will see where i mean),
6) Mark where the 4 holes are and drill out 3mm,
7) Now if you look where the heater metrix goes through the bulk head, there is a pozi drive screw, drill a 25mm hole approx 1inch to the left of it,
8) Push bar through hole and bolt selector down,
9) Place selector mechanism onto gearbox mount and pin in place,
10 Place both gearbox selector and gearstick in reverse,
11) Locate push bar into mechanism and tighten 13mm nut.
JOB DONE. :beer:
