You mean the bit where the gearshift comes out? Don't try pulling it off, you'll break something!
The gearshift lever is retained by a domed cap, that's fixed with a single bolt through a tag at the rear. The tag can snap off, allowing the lever to pop out and give you a heart attack when you lose all the gears
Before you undo the bolt you also need to prise two wire springs to one side to allow the lever room to exit... should be self-explanatory when you get in there.
The entire shift mech is housed in an alloy extension that bolts to the rear of the main casting on 4 anti-vibration rubbers. These perish allowing the lever lots of slop, to the extent that when you pull back for 2nd or 4th the propshaft flange hits the bottom of the extension, causing even more alarm, especially when you're trying to outdrag an Evo... ask me how I know
I thought I'd trashed the 'box so I backed off and he went sailing past

Mike - have you just bought an armoured van? Does it look a little like this?
No but some men in white coats gave me a comfy white jacket with mega sleeves, and their van had a flashing light like that. F**king comics...

I thought I'd trashed the 'box so I backed off and he went sailing past I fear that when my body slid and was caught buy the shifter something was bent. There used to be an offset between the actual shift level and the shifter knob. It was at about a 9 0'clock position, ie: a 90deg jog to the left. I assume this is to comfortably get your arm around the hand brake.
At any rate, now the shifter is twisted to about an 11 o'clock position and it doesn't easily (or at all) twist back. It's as if nothing is loose, only bent. For piece of mind I'd like to order a known good unit from Douglas Valley; I know they had one. I just want to know how to swap one out safely.
Oh I know what you mean now ;^)
Yeah usually the tab on the domed cap has snapped off and it's just the 2 wire springy bits that hold the lever in.
I suppose it got bent when the body slid off?
If all else fails just cut it and weld it back on. They don't have to be that strong - unless you want to hold up the body with it!!!

.......Yeah you just have to find a V8 SDi in a scrapyard. Do you know how rare these things are now?? I have only seen an SDi on the road about once a year, even then they have been 2300's or 2600's.
BTW Mike, a good tip is to replace all the bushes on the gearbox remote mounting thing while you have good access to it. I'll bet you 2 loonies that after supporting the body, these bushes will be knackered, and give up about 2 weeks after you put it all back together.

Ok, have SD1 2300S in the garage..., and agree SD1 is a rare sight even in scrapyards.
Thought that the LT77 box is used in jags, etc and the remote gearstuff and stick could be available just like that. If it is SD1 specific you are right Adam and it was not much of a great help (or even no help at all .....)
Then I am sorry,
Rob

Then again, manual XJs are rare as hen's teeth...but plenty of Jags sold in the States.
