Why Column gear shift

I hope that your clutch never goes, the parts are dear enough but if you add on the labour and the price of the special tools to replace it, it definately makes your eyes water.

Clever bit of kit though

My early cars were all column change/bench seat models, Ford Consul, Zephyr &Zodiac. Best ones were the Vauxhall PA Cresta, 3 litre straight six, pulled from 15mph to blimey in top, beautiful cars. BMC J4 gearbox really was pot luck, “stirring the pudding” was just about right, plus having to keep a few cwt in the back to keep the wheels on the ground as well!
