Today I replaced the wood trim surrounding the manual gearstick, this was due to the one already fiitted being the original auto trim, then came the problem, I have a rover vitesse 5 speed box and having fitted the manual trim I am no longer able to engage reverse! has anyone else experienced this and did they come up with a modification? I can only assume my options are to refit the auto trim which then has an unsightly gap or I try and resize the circle cutout to allow reverse to be engaged, I could try and fit an additional piece of leather trim to cover the gap on the auto trim but was just wondering if there is another option...

I have done this to my car too. I modified the gear lever.
If you can wait I will get you a picture? -
My advice would be to get a piece made to fit - i had a new dash made and it is fantastic, the guy who did it will make any shape you want, just draw a template and he will make a new sectionOriginally posted by Mimosa Stag View Post
