    Default Can I get to the gear linkage w/o removing driveshaft and exhaust?

    Hey.
    Planning on fixing the gear linkage soon, to tighten things up. To paraphraze Borat: "Gear shifter is loose, like anus of my sister, no. 4 prostitute in all of Kasakstan!"

    I found a niiiice writeup in the archives, and i'm gonna go for it!

    Only question is, do I really need to remove the driveshaft etc.? Is the heat shield removable without taking everything else out? Could I reach in there and still do a decent job?

    Why the f*** I don't look for myself?, I hear you ask. I'm lazy today, and to get to the pit to have a look, I need to empty the pit first.
