    Step 5: Gearshift.

    This wasn't too bad, I think the bushes have been replaced in the past but I've opted to put in Patrolapart's Bronze-Aluminium upgrade kit anyway. Along the way discovered every single rubber in the gear selection was split or completely gone so had to order in replacements for all those too. Ordered new circlip and snapring at the same time as I know of too many stories that begin with "So I decided to re-use the old snapring...". Lubricated it all with hi-temp bearing grease. Did the rubber boot on the transfer case lever too since I already had everything open.
    New shift knob on there too as the old one was pretty worn.

    Gearshift now moves like a rifle bolt and grabs gears like a magnet. Feels amazing��
