7.2. GEAR LEVER

For the Burton a special gear lever is developed out of stainless steel.

- Put the gearlever through the hole in the heater exchanger which is bolted to the bulkhead. Bolt the bracket of the gearlever to the bulkhead with a M6x25 bolt. (make sure it’s in the most upwards position)

- Bolt the other end of the gear lever to the chassis with a M7x20 bolt. Use the standard hole in the chassis.

- You can now fix the bracket which is bolted on the bulkhead to the gear lever.

- Replace the old lever which is mounted on the gearbox and replace it with the shortened version. The U-shaped bit on top of the lever needs to lined up with the car.

- Connect both levers with the original connector (we recommend to replace the rubber bits)

- The new gear levers are not anymore supplied with thread on the bit where the connection piece sits on. So you do not need to secure it anymore with a nut. We changed this because it caused friction during gear changes.

- The gear lever doesn’t need to be lubricated but if you do want to don’t use lubricants like oil or grease but use silicon or Teflon spray. Oil affects the nylon bush.

- Fix the gear knob tightly use Lock-Tite if necessary and finish it off with the emblem.

- Check if you can get the car in every gear.
