Paul . Librands used to do a kit a few years ago but several series 1 car's have the so called short shift. Most including myself removed the Bmw knob and cut the stick down to the size required. The Le mans gear knob was the prefered one available from Morgan or half price if you went the Ritchbrook route. I found the gear knob got really hot most early adopters will testify to this,When I bought my second series 1 the the stick was left as it was and i prefered the larger Bmw Knob your choice off course.

You can still have the kits made up by Librands, if you do a search (sorry I am in the middle of something otherwise I would) you will find a post from me explaining what you need and how to sort it all out from a year or two back.

On the S2 we got the shaft cut slightly shorter and the metal billiard ball knob fitted.

I like the short throw that you get as a result when changing.
Only issue is that you do need a bit of effort to push past the detent to get reverse, mind you the S2 has a different box to the S1 from memory.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
