Stagea forums IMO are some of the best around. Its because no one here is a little 14 year old trying to be cool.

We all are mature people who know to keep shut unless we actually know something about what needs to be said.

thats hit the nail on the head i reckon alex, i think u and me are the 2 youngest here by heaps aint we? good to see a forum without bitching and people dribbling shit about their mates uncles cats dogs 2nd aunties 8 second stagea with stock turbo. :)

keep it up guys :P

Thats me. 28+

Think Ghostrider and I are the oldest.

We know stuff that happened before most of you were born.

Not necessarily all good though.

Started the engine but gear shifter wouldnt move. With engine running, if i pressed the brake pedal a clicking noise could be heard in the consol at the bottom of the shifter, also turning the key on and off produced the same sound. Presumably this is a solenoid of sorts that locks/unlocks the shift lever.ie a steal stopper.

Eventually I got it the shifter lock to open by fiddling (swearing a lot) and stop starting the engine.

It is now doing it sometimes.

Any ideas, or similar problem experienced?

Ive just had another look.

With engine running the shifter button only goes half in. When i depress foot brakebutton goes allway in and operates of until you turn offf. Then process starts again.

I know this topic is dead and dusted, however i am having problems with the shift lock in my stagea sticking wether im on even ground or sloping ground it sticks badly and pushing the brake in doesnt work until the 4 or so time, i have driven other people stageas and theres have never done it like mine does...

What i want to know is the shift lock adjustable?? If so how??

Thanks

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
