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 ??

You get a "ting", "ting", "ting" noise. I had this, its the bolts are too long on one of the flanges if I remember correctly, they foul something.
It gets worse when you "load" the transmission (i.e. steep hill start)

Sorry .. Both wrong !!! .. I was looking at the problem today, and it appears to be speed specific .. so, with the lobster box in neutral, and the jimny in Gear, i started to investigate.. The problem appears to be a balancing weight on the mini prop is fouling the bottom of the gearstick assembly. It is more prominent when the gear selector is in the rear position (2nd, 4th, Reverse).
Closer inspection, the underside of the gearstick is on rubber bushes, and these have quite a lot of play. Now .. ignore or try and fix the problem ???...
