On one hand, it's a reliable, kinda cool no-fuss daily, gets me around no worries. On the other, it's re...

I wouldn't say it's easy, only reason this wasn't sitting there with a stove-in front end for a month is because I have three parts cars :lol:

Re: GK power steer into GH does it go?

I did the opposite, GH non-PS into a GJ. Boxes are directly interchangeable, columns aren't, so you'll need a GH PS column.
Dunno why you'd bother personally, the steering's not that heavy to begin with unless you're running wide tyres or the pressures are down, but to each his own :thumpsup:

Re: Gear stick keeps coming off

Borg-Warner 'boxes of the manual persuasion tend to do that, the thread on the big plastic nut that holds the stick in gets pretty sad over time and won't stay done up.
Only solution I can think of is threadlocker, or maybe get the nut copied in alloy or something :think:
