Rocklobster Question

Well after spending most of the afternoon under the car, attempting to fit the Rocklobster, I managed to get the car running in front wheel drive, and took it to my local garage to help me drill the rear diff flange.
Here is a photo of the finished article



I do have one problem though, I havnt bent the gear stick yet, so the transfer box is currently stuck in 4 Hi. I assume I need to get it bent back to allow me to select 2Hi.

Also, can someone give me a photo of the gear pattern .. Is it the same as the Jimny ?

2Hi --- 4Hi (push down) -- 4Lo ??

Hi

On the lobster the patter is as follows:



.............4L
..............|
..............|
2H....... N
..|...........|
..|...........|
4H

Dont mind the dots, forum removes the spaces so had to redo this ..... :ohmy:

Also just noticed after a quick test drive that the gear stick seems to be touching either a UJ or a balance weight if you push down on it when changing gear ... a common problem #?? maybe need to go slightly higher on the lift ... ?

The change pattern on a Rock Lobster is in the shape of a backwards J

2H at the top
4H at the bottom
4L at the tip of the "hook"

Ahh that explains it then ... even with a 1" cut in the floot, i cannot select the 2Hi (Neutral) position ... ok, so bending is essential ...
