Post by: wildgoody on October 05, 2004, 06:16:28 PM: The shifter has a thin section at the bottom,
thin faces sides, you didn't forget to have the
spring and the metal bayonet cup on the shaft
before the extension was welded on did you ???

The bayonet cup pushes down and turns clockwise
to lock, wear gloves if you can, as this has semi
sharp edges and could cut/slice your fingertips

That should help I hope

Post by: wildgoody on October 05, 2004, 07:14:19 PM: Ya turn hard, that's why I said gloves,
it felt like I was going to have cut finger
tips when I finished mine.

Also I have an Automatic Trans, so I
only did the T-case, as the auto has
a cable and needs no extension on it

Post by: mbmarkyb on October 05, 2004, 07:36:43 PM: two screw drivers seemed to do it for me, apply pressure down and turn at the same time , my t case one is tight the gear stick one goes in easy :-)

Post by: SiKiD_01 on October 05, 2004, 09:45:15 PM: yep, its one of those push in, and turn kinda locking things.

i had a mate push down, and i had a couple of flat head screw drivers to turn it and lock it in.

same with transfer.

Post by: wildgoody on October 06, 2004, 03:25:04 AM: That kind of attachment is called
a Bayonet mount, kind of like your
Light Bulbs Mate ;)

Good to hear you got them back in
So ....... How does it work ???

Post by: Rhinoman on October 06, 2004, 04:24:46 AM: I couldn't get mine to turn either. The bayonets are just some fancy bolts that screw in from the front and back of the turret. I backed mine out, pushed the cup down (lined up with the holes) and tightened up the bolts again. I did notice the bolts were Loctited but they haven't fallen out yet, 18,000 miles later ;D ;D

Post by: trackermad on October 07, 2004, 01:37:35 AM: I like to use a 19 or 20mm open end wrench to turn them in. Just put it in the square part push in and turn.
