Didn’t know about the pin locking the stick, I just eyeballed it vertical and tried to hold it still 😂 definitely use the pins next time when I fit short shifter to coupe turbo!
So that’s how you adjust the cables on a F23 Box, I replaced the cup bush a few years ago but there still seems to be play in the stick trying to change gear and gear changes are notchy, I got a feeling it’s the cables, Video very helpful I’ll try and adjust them
Need help. Uncles got a 2003 53 plate zafira 1.6 petrol. I need a new gearstick mech like the one you put in this video. But where in earth do I find one and what is the technical term for it.
+Aaron Unknown would the eBay 1 fit or would you need to add the spacers with the kit. p.s love the vids man just got my first gsi zafira and your vids are helping loads.
Do a strip down of the little spring that fits in with the ball bearing mate under the white piece the pin goes through , I couldn’t find a diagram of correct way it went together I’m sure mines wrong the way I put it back together after fitting a fresh bush and pin in my own zaf gsi feels a lot tighter but still seems be a tad of play but it doesn’t feel like it springs back to centre it never before due to being like a spoon in a bowl of porridge 😂😂
Are all F23 boxes this stiff? I was wondering if there is a problem with mine, but yours look as stiff. Like it requires a bit effort to really push it in gear.. I think its the only bug drawback of these cars.
Yes mate, i have new bushes, its centered with the locking thing, also. Its the imperial performances short shift bit. Tough i plan to do oil change to it soon, since it is a bit crunchy like "2step" sometimes, not alot force needed but you kinda need to concentrate too much on gear change, especially if you go 3/4 to 2.
Great guide, im fitting a replacement bush kit in my combo van this weekend same f23 box i feel much more confident now.
Thank you for your time and effort to make this video and share your knowledge with us. Greetings from Croatia.
Being a zaf gsi owner these vids are so so helpful👍👍

This guy certainly knows his stuff. Gladly take my car to him to sort/ Zaf Gsi Z20LET
Would an astra gsi shifter fit a zaf gsi? With you saying the only difference is the box the shifter sits on in the zaffy
I could reallly really use your help. I changed the bushing and now Reverse goes forward 😩
the short shift you put in the zafira was it the RnD or the eBay 1 with links from a few videos back
This one was the rnd one as the super short isnt needed for this

Yeah you would need spacers or it will touch the floor/bracket. Good news! Im happy they help
Hi! How much time is needed to change these cables? Thx for the answer!🙂
Thank you. Fantastic help.

Where. I buy. Tha part. For. Zafira. 2004
How do u remove the gear knob to put ew leather around it ? I did a different Astra ad it’s just pull up but my gsi one won’t move
You cant remove it, it slides over the top then an internal cable tie pulls it together

Do you have a stock shifter?
Yes mate, i have new bushes, its centered with the locking thing, also.
Its the imperial performances short shift bit.

@@deaami6130 Sometimes the actual selector on the gearbox rusts up and that makes it difficult to shift
