A small, but important point. Be sure to use the correct item #116-the =
bushing for the shifter. The earlier cars used a brass bush, and the BJs =
used a plastic one. They are not interchangeable. Hank

The gear shift is not held in place by bolts it is held in place with =
two roll pins on each side. The roll pins I have measure 0.1755=E2=80=9D =
diameter x 0.59=E2=80=9D long. The pins are removed by driving them into =
the round part of the gear shift lever. BMC part number is AEA558, item =

I wrote the letter below to the Group with no response, so maybe it went =
astray. Meanwhile, I researched the archives for information and found =
the following:
=20
the thing happened to me w/ my center shift BT7 MK2, except I was stuck =
in
reverse. Very inconvenient Shift lever just flopped around, and would =
not
engage anything.
The small bottom "ball" of the shift lever had come out of its socket in =
the
remote shift rod that goes into the top of the transmission.
=20
you have a Moss catalog, look at page 84, item #31. It is N/A, but you
can make one. Pull off the console and the cover of the transmission. =
If
my problem is the same as yours, one of the small "tits" on the end of =
the
bolt that goes into the side of the shift tower has broken off which =
allows
the shift lever to go past its normal range and disengage from its =
socket.
This "tit" fits into a slot in the side of the big ball on the shift =
lever,
controlling its side-to-side motion. If the lever goes too far to one =
side
of the other, it comes out of the socket and flops around.
Get a long bolt w/ the same threads as the broken one, check the overall
length, turn the end down so it will fit into the slot, and you are =
done.
=20
So, I followed those instructions and found the tits were worn and no =
longer fitting into the groove in the ball. My friend the machinist was =
going to make new bolts, when we decided to remove the thick lock =
washers and screwed bolts into the groove of the ball. With a little =
adjustment of the length of the bolt into the grove, we got the shifter =
to go through all the gears. My question to the Group, is this the =
finished product? Or should we make new longer bolts. Does and one know =
the length, and so on?
=20
As I looked on the Moss catalog, I noticed that there should have been a =
bushing at the bottom of the of the shift stick. The into socket the =
shift stick rides is not too worn, so I am hoping that a new bush and =
circle clip, bearing grease assembly and so on will get me back on the =
road.=20
=20
Let me know if you have any suggestions,
