Kenworth W900 40 Posted November 17 Does anybody know if Ford produced any models with straight gear levers for Type 9 boxes? I have gone Type 9 5spd in my Granada but the bent lever gets in the way of the handbrake, so I'm looking for a straight type. I don't think I want to go for one of the aftermarket versions, which tend to be straight, as they all seem to be 'performance' orientated. This is just a standard road car, I don't need a quick shift kit or anything like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Mack 323 Posted November 17 Might heating and bending/straightening be an option ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J2S 150 Posted November 17 The cheapish quick shift kits normally has them be easy enough to make it so it's normal throw 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's certainly an option (albeit one complicated by the dampening rubber just above the bend), I just wanted to explore any options in case Ford had already made them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
