    Type9 gear lever

    Can anyone tell me if this is the correct gear lever for a Mk2 RS2000?




    I've fitted a type9 5-speed to my RS2000 and I can't remember if the gear lever pictured is the original RS2000 item or the one that came with my Type9 box.

    The gear lever bends backwards and is very close to the handbrake handle. In fact it touches the handbrake handle in 2nd & 4th gears. I suspect that the proper RS2000 item is more straight.

    The 4 speed RS has the big nylon not to screw it in, so that'll be a 5 speed one.

    And a quick shift too by the looks of it
    Just bend the handbrake to one side and it should clear

    That's definitely a T9 one, you can still get the plastic bush (that goes in the fork at the bottom) from ford. It's well worth replacing while you have it out.

    So will the 4-speed lever fit onto a type9? Is the proper 4-speed lever straight or bent back?
