I just purchased an m100 with a lot of issues, even if I drove the car
just few kms.
One may be gearchange: it seems good, but a couple of times the lever
seemed to "get lost nowhere" and it took some work to get it back in position.
And a couple of times the lever seemed to be in the correct position for
reverse, but it seemed to me the car was not moving, so gears not engaged.
It might be the levers/forks inside the gearbox, or it might be the shift cables.
Maybe some of you experts could suggest an easy test for the cables, by simply
moving the shift lever in certain ways and positions.
In case, I might need new cables perhaps by BCN, if possible
Best to every one in the forum

I am a new user to this forum and have recently acquired a 1990 M100 with gearshift problems. I have a pair of the later S2 cables to replace the old ones which are prone to failure on several counts on reading the topics here. Apologies to all who may have seen this topic covered many times before. I am not new to Lotus, having rebuilt 2 S3s many moons ago but the M100 is new to me.
Some of the forum users here have replaced many of such cables, HJ2 seems to be one such person! I would like some step by step instructions please, along with pics if possible?
Many thanks

Make sure you have that before jumping into the fray.

The bracket, wrenches and extra mounting bolt are taped together in the white box with the short-shift kit in the center of the cables.

... And everything looks beautiful too !
If you need certain pictures or get stuck with a certain step, please post it here.
We will guide you home to get the job finished.
