Sagaris "crossbar"dismount?

[zeppo]

Hi all!
Who knows, where I can dismount the cross bar behind the seats?
I have to remove my gearbox and therefor the cap of the middle tunnel.

cheers Josef

Can you not just remove the 4 13mm bolts that hold the gear-stick onto the top of the gearbox, saves messing about with the interior? Just don't lose the plastic/nylon cup that's inside when you take the shifter out.

Hi Thomas!
The last time when I removed the gearbox, the procedure was:

- diffusor, strengthen plate, exhaust system
- prop shaft
- gear stick and hand break lever
- the leather bantling around the gear stick (3 bolts underneath)

Then it's possible to squeeze out the cap of the middle tunnel - it's a hard process (and a great chance to damage the dashboard) and I don't think, that there is no better way to do that even in a TVR...

Don't think I've done/seen a Sagaris (not that I can remember now anyway) so might be different, but have done/seen a T350 and Cerb sp6, where the gearstick and gaiter is left where it is (along with the handbrake). Was trying to find a picture last night (1000 words etc, ) but couldn't find one, got a decent one now.

That gold plate which with the bolts in the corners removed is what I was meaning, then the gearstick just stays where it is. IIRC I have also seen the gearstick unbolted from the gearbox by those two bolts that are on vertical stubby bit on the gearbox shifter.
