Any way I need help with the gear linkage at the minute its got an after market one and its setup for race shift as in 1st is up and rest of gears down how do I change it to a normal shift pattern I've had a play but cant figure it out

Thanks for the help in advance

Hi,

You turn one of the ends of the linkage up the other way so its pulling rather than pushing. ie going anticlockwise rather than clockwise when you try and change gear. or vice versa.

Hopefully that makes some sort of sense!

As said it should just be a case of flipping the linkage on the selector shaft over but take a pic of it and post it up if that doesnt work so we can see what its like. ;)
