Installation
1. Remove old shifter and offset lever. The offset
lever is the cast part that is secured to the
selector shaft with a roll pin.
2. Remove factory electronic reverse lock out and
fit supplied cover with sealant.
3. Fit shaft fitting in place of offset lever with the
3/16th inch roll pin

4. Apply a thin sealant to the base plate the fit with
the three 8x16mm countersunk bolts.

Check shift throw
Its very important to check the throw of the gearbox at
this point. Measure the throw of the gearbox between
3rd and 4th gears, make sure that each gear is fully
selected by turning the input or output shaft as you do
this. If this measurement is 17.5mm you have a Tr-6060
or Magnum transmission and your shifter should have a
blue or purple cam if it measured 22mm you have a T-56
and your shifter should have a red or orange cam.
Check ball plunger operation
Some gearboxes use a side mounted spring plunger on
cam to centre the shift rod, this is typical on
Magnum/Magnum xl / tr6060.

longitudinally this is normal on the t56.

the shifter, once the lever has moved up 3 clicks through
the internal gate the main shift lever is pulled back to
engage reverse gear.
To select neutral gear from reverse, push the main lever
forwards a half shift to the stop then move the reverse
gear selector anticlockwise. Be sure the reverse selector
has been moved the whole way before engaging 1st
gear. It may be fiddly at first but it’s very quick and
simple once it’s been done a few times.
Never force the reverse selector if it doesn’t move easily
select a gear again and gently re-select neutral.
6
9. Put the gearbox in neutral gear and rotate the
selector shaft all the way to the reverse position.
10. Put the shifter in the neutral position. Shifting
may be difficult when the shifter is not mounted
in the car. It is easiest to hold the lever and push
the front of back edge of the shifter on a solid
surface.
11. Move the reverse selector to the 1st gear position
and observe the side shift arm moving down.
7
12. Slide the ball shaped fitting on the side shift arm
into the groove on the left side of the shaft
fitting as you lower the shifter onto the base
plate. Check that the shifter slides all the way
flush with the base, do not force it down with
bolts.
13. Fit and slightly tighten the three 8mm cap head bolts
to attach the shifter to base plate then rotate the
reverse selector back and forth a few times to get a
feel of it.
Rotate the reverse selector all the way to the 1st gear
position and you should now be able to select gears.
If the shifter has not been placed exactly in the
centre it may jam or get tight to move near the end
of lever travel it is often most obvious when you go
to change out of that gear where it will be much
harder to move than in the opposing gear, this
indicates that you need to move the shifter very
slightly back or forth. If the problem is on an odd
8
number gear you need to move the shifter slightly
forwards, if the problem is on an even numbered
gear move it slightly backwards. Take your time with
this get it right the first time then tighten the bolts
and check it shifts as it should in all gears.
14. Once you are certain its correct drill two 6mm holes
in the drill square and through the base spacer for
the 6mm roll pins. Be careful not to drill through the
mounting bolts securing the drill square to the
shifter body.

15. Remove shifter and apply a thin sealant refit bolts
finger tight and fit the roll pins to locate the shifter
then fit and tighten all 4 shifter bolts.
16. If needed the lever handle can be adjusted for angle.
If you cannot easily rotate the handle once loosened
removed the bolt and insert it from the other side
with a piece of metal inserted to cover the hole in
this way the bolt its self can be used to loosen the
grip on the shaft.
Things to remember
1. A gearbox with any shifter fitted may not shift
through all gears when the car is not moving. A lot of
people don’t notice this as with a H-pattern shifter
there is no motivation to shift through all 6 gears
while stationary. It may be necessary to release the
clutch slightly with the engine running while
engaging each gear so the internals can rotate and
line up. A lot of t56 show this the most on reverse
gear.
2. Clean transmission fluid is very important in these
boxes and it wears out fast when driven hard.
10
3. Clutch operation is also very important many cars
have poor shift just from the clutch not fully
disengaging. If the car moves forwards even a little
when first gear is engaged the clutch is not fully
releasing. Clutch fluid also gets old and causes issues
in a lot of cars.
4. Most t56 shifting issues we have seen are actually
clutch issues. The most next common problem is
broken shift for pads.
Shifter removal
1. Use a punch to knock the roll pins all the way out
of the base plate.
2. Undo all bolts and remove

Gear indicator fitment &
programming
Fitment
12
Mount the gear indicator in the desired position
using double sided tape for the small flat style
gear indicator or a 52mm, 2 1/16 in gauge cup for
the pod mount style and connect all wires.
Wire Colours
Black = Ground
Red = 12v (ignition switched maximum 18 V)
Yellow = 5v output for position sensor
White = Signal input (signal output from sensor)
Blue = Reverse input
13
Sensor fitment
Position sensors now have a revised design that allows
them to be rotated 360 degrees under the mounting
bracket. To determine the correct position it is best to
use a multimeter between the white signal wire and
ground to ensure the sensor is positioned so it will not
cross the dead zone in operation where the output will
instantly jump from a low to high voltage. The sensor is
secured with the supplied 4mm stainless steel screws.
Set up
These Gear indicators now ship programmed but this
may still need to be reprogrammed for your specific set
up.
Programming
1. Hold the programming button down while the
ignition power is switched on this will put the gear
indicator into programming mode. The programming
button can be accessed through the 4mm hole on
the front of the gear indicator. This should be done
with a nonconductive object to prevent any
accidental damage.
2. The gear indicator will now pulse the gear it is
waiting to be entered starting with neutral.
14
3. Select the gear displayed on the shifter/transmission
then press the program button to set the position in
the gear indicator.
4. Once you have programmed the number of gears
your transmission has turn off power to the gear
indicator for all the settings to be saved.
5. Reverse can be displayed my either a high or low
power (under 1V=low, over 4V= high) on the blue
wire this will come from the reverse switch on the
side of the transmission.
15
reverse is selected just try pushing the button and
see what happens.
Trouble shooting
Gear indicator does not light up: Check that there is at
least 10v between the black and red wires.
I program the gear indicator, but it does not save:
Check that the sensor output changes with gear position
(measure between black and white wires). Check that
the Yellow wire to the sensor has between 4 & 5 volts
(measure between black and yellow wires).
Gear indicator only shows “R” or “A”: This is the same
letter the “A” is the closest we can get to an “R” on the
seven-segment display. The “R” will mean that the
reverse input is triggered so invert its behaviour by
pressing the program button for one second at least 5
seconds after power has been switched on.
