Need help with the single rail transmission gear shift lever.


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have the single rail transmission found on the 1968 and later Cortina? I’m installing this type in my 1962 Lotus 7 S2 (I lost the original 3 rail and the extension, the reason for which is too lengthy to go into). It’s been years since I took the shifter out and can’t remember how it goes back together. Add to that, the plastic rotator ball has disintegrated. I’ve included a schematic, which shows it, but not apart. I’ve also included 2 pictures: 1 of the parts I have (which may include some not from that shifter???); one as I think it is assembled above the screw in cup. Top row right is the disintegrated rotator ball held together with masking tape. Bottom row left is a rotator ball from the 3 rail type which I may use as a guide for a machine shop to make a metal one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I’m also posting this in the “general Tech” section in this forum
