Shift boot/exposed gear stick on 111R?

james.beaumont1 · Post by **james.beaumont1** » Sat Dec 05, 2015 1:49 pm

Is it possible to remove the shift boot to look like the one in the 135R in the image above or does the different gearbox mean this isn't possible?

The reason there's a gator on the 111R and other 6-speed toyota engined cars is because of the reverse mechanism; it's not particularly pretty and I think you also wouldn't want to get stuff into the mechanism:

Thanks Robin. I guessed that would be the case. Shame!

If it's important to you, I'll happily swap my 135 for your R

Kind and generous to a fault.

Well if it's the only way...

I'm going to order a matching gear and handbrake gator I think.

Lotus may have a sort of solution for you on the new exige sport 350...
