 Topic: CA Lever/Crooked?
Posted: 28 Mar 2011 at 5:49pm |
I have this CA shift lever to sell, As noted in pictures it is "bent", I'm asking a silly question [ mind does not remember well anymore] I assume it is suppose to be straight, correct? Thanks for help. PS. OK to heat [lightly] and straighten??

The unpainted end goes inside the trans and is not supposed to be bent like that...

You do not have to use heat ,just stick in hole and bend back . They are tough. I restored and custimzed a B and had to bend that lever almost like one on a D14 and i bent it cold.
