Hi All -
Here's a complete newbie to this forum. And this is my problem :-
I'm looking for a replacement gear lever retaining ring, for a Capri 4-speed g/box. This is denoted as a Type 3 g/box, on the Burton-Power web site, although the Haynes manual refers to it as a "Type C". The gear lever is retained in place by a screw-on nylon cup, with integrated tab-washer. Which is the part in question.
Irritatingly, I remember sighting a pic of this precise item, but didn't follow it up, because it was a USA site. (Which I cannot now find).
So, other than splashing out on a Rally Design quickshift, is there anywhere else where Capri gearbox spares can be obtained?
Yes, I've tried a local Ford parts counter (the reply, accompanied by ironic laughter, was - "You'll be lucky, mate!!" ).
Your expert advice will be welcome.
Gearbox Parts?
Re: Gearbox Parts?
I have a feeling I read about them the other day in a catalogue.... Could have been the CCI one.
Sorry, I know that's of no help, but it could be a start. I'll have a look when I get in and report back at some point.

Re: Gearbox Parts?
Thanks for all the info tips. Have already contacted Matt at RetroFord, who will be supplying a suitable gear lever assy.
Eaton supercharger - have you checked out the PPC site? They recently carried a serialised feature about supercharging. They might provide a lead for you.
