It isn't required to run the car.

So just to confirm the detent is not required for the operation of the gearbox?

Oh, and thanks for the shift boots Beavis, received

The gearbox neutral switch is one of the inputs for the ECU to determine idle speed. I think that's its only function.

after some research I gathered I should leave that one alone. Cheers Manga Blue

As far as I can tell the ECU uses neutral switch, clutch switch, TPS closed switch and ECT output to work out whether it needs to idle and how fast it should idle. 3 out of the 4 working seems to be enough though.

Cheers guys, this is good time of the build when you start to bolt together shiny clean stuff.

Geeze Bigdog, get the front of those guards down :shock:

. Those things have the aero characteristics of a brick, but you have made them worse still :lol:

Otherwise, I love it, especially the polished aluminium!

That single hoop probably dates the car somewhat, I doubt that it would pass muster as a new build?
