Fisher Fury reverse/1st issues.

[ChimaeraKev]

Afternoon all,

I was hoping someone could help me out with a snag I have with my Fisher Fury. From what I gather it has a type 9 Ford gearbox, but the push down to get it in reverse doesn't work. So when I come to get 1st it usually goes into reverse! Not good when it gets on the road!

Here's some pics of the gear lever and top down from the box, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction!

Cheers,
Kev

Afternoon all,

Many thanks for your replies and apologies for not getting back sooner, was away with the family all this week.
I've purchased one of the plastic saddle clips but if I'm being honest not really sure which way it is supposed to go!

I've also taken a couple more pics as requested:








Any more pointers would be much appreciated!
Thanks again!

Hi Jim,

Cheers for that! I've managed to get the old one off and get the new one on but the problem remains. It will still go straight into reverse without having to push the gear stick down. Am I looking at a new gear stick at this point?

Thanks again,
Kev

That's brilliant thank you again Jim!

I've had a check and it looks like the block is there, but looking at the bottom of the gear lever, it looks like the part that makes contact has worn down to the point it just goes straight underneath.

Would this be a new gear lever job or is there a way I could repair it?

Thanks again,
Kev

Evening all,

So I tried to put some washers in between the bolt holes and the mounting plate and success! I can no longer hit reverse without pushing the gear lever down! So this will do for me for the time being but long term it looks to me like a new gear lever will be needed.

Thanks everyone for the help and pointers!
