Anyone got any shots of the said mechanism? Are they the same as the SD1 or Wedge? Or were they Chim/Griff specific. I think mine is on its last legs. It's had several new bushes etc in the last few years including very recently but it's gone very sloppy now & the reversing light is permanently on. I'm convinced the internals of the box are good as there's no whining at all.
Or better still, if anyone has a knackered box I can have to swap the bits over.....thumbup

Thanks, the selector unit that sits on the back of the box is the bit that I'm interested in. Is it the same as in the pics or is it slightly different for the Chim/Griffs? I'd like to source one from somewhere to try first before I fork out for a refurb. thumbup

These guys are LT77 specilists who may be able to help, as I cant see TVR doing their own castings somehow:

The selector mechanism for the Griff and Chim with the LT77 is different from the standard Sd1 as it moves the gearlever over to the side. Having just had my box reconditioned i was told by John Reid that the selector mechanism was TVR specific and as such he didnt think they were available anymore.

Might be worth phoning TVR Power. Maybe they can offer some advice and help. Keep us informed as to how you get on. Also having the LT77 i`m interested.

I'll be pulling the box out over the next few weeks & taking some pics. Well worth finding a solution to this as I honestly believe the box itself is fine. I drove a pre cat Griff a few weeks ago when I was looking & it was the same. scratchchin
