MG TD TF 1500 - Gear shifter anti rattle spring install.

After putting bushings in the remote tower for the shifter rod I had the usual trouble installing the anti rattle spring. I came up with this solution. Might be old hat to some but it worked for me. The locking ring was very easy to install.

I like it. I have used sockets as spacers to remove front hubs too with knockoffs.

Maybe we should start a thread of "alternative" uses for tools. :-)

Tim, good idea! Like you, I have struggled with those springs in the past. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Chris, good idea. Who hasn't used a screw driver for a punch or lever.

Richard, thanks.

That is one pretty blue shift lever.

Sandy, I switch out the color by the season. I'll post my Christmas edition soon.
