Ruckstell bolts

Post by Ralph F » Fri Dec 12, 2025 4:43 pm

I am doing a bit of work on my ruckstell shifter and I have a question about the length of the two bolts that attach the shifter to the housing. I know the bolts are 7/16 fine thread.
Thanks
Fitz

There are 3 bolts that attach the shift lock. (one also locks the inner lock plate) There are 3 distinctly different shift lock housings. Each one has a distinctly different bolt length set. Start by conveying which shift lock you have.
