hey all
have got 2 shifter handles here - on stock EF, the other AU XR. am going to fit the AU to my EF, based on iceblue2's inspirational thread! 
now my q is, does anyone know of the exact workings of the internals of these shifters? is the orange bit in the EF one critical to its operation? any thoughts would be greatly appreciated cheers

when i got to do stuff like that i go to the wrecker pull apart there s**t then go home. i buy something cheap otherwise i feel like a bastard. but that way you have tested it and haven't stuffed up you stuff if you get it wrong.

DMacs right. Go to a wreckers destroy s**t then come home and ponder how you did it all. It would be the easiest way.

Hey Bob, just got back and have read your thread. The orange plastic I am guessing is critical in the operation of the shifter. I think it is used as a guide for the rod that pushes up and hits the lever inside the EF shifter. Because the hole in the orange part is smaller, I think this adds to the stability of the whole button in / out process and it stops the rod from flapping around inside the shaft. Later this week I am going to pull mine apart to get some better pictures and I will post them as soon as i do. Don't be deterred from doing this mod, it really isn't as hard as it seems.

sounds like it isn't on the stalk far enough. loosen the locking nut - give it a full 360 degree turn and tighten it up again! see how that goes!

Have had it all the way down. i think the rod is slipping up one side of the button area and sticking there...?

the push rod has a bend in it .. make sure the bend is to the rear, it slopes back!

nope, i can see now with the button pushed in and pressure pshing the rod up, the rod slips to one side locking the button, how hard are these things to open up?

near impossible ... if you suspect the internals of the shifter are f**k then I would suggest getting another one in good condition from either a member (here) or from a wreckers!!
