suitably.obscure Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I am about to try and improve the gear change on my 84 turbo. I'm reading with interest all the cross shaft cable posts but have a really simple question.... how do you get to whatever gate etc is under the gear lever? I think a part of the problem is there. My red leather interior is in very good condition and never been apart before. Tricks/ tips really appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdoom Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 There are several bits of trim or insulating devices beneath the leather puff. I'll attach a PDF Service Parts Manual for reference, see page 103 for the interior bits, further along you'll find the Transmission section for gearchange mechanism details.

suitably.obscure Posted December 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Wow, thanks, very useful. I lived in hope that there would be 2-3 hidden screws to lift of the console top covers but it looks like lots more needs to come out. Think its bite the bullet time.

jtmco Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 I did the job on my S1 over the summer. I messed up the trim pulling it off. I have it all back together except the trim. I used Velcro to hold down the arm rest so I can at least access the choke cable without pulling it all apart.
