After Mark Gear Selectors
Currently have an 04 MY TD5 HT - any thoughts on after market gear selectors
Was looking at second hand bowler as too expensive new, but are there any other options?

Can I replace with Puma etc?

A a bump
B does anybody have any thoughts on after market gear levers, I can only find Bowler and cannot justify £500

All comments including the juvenile welcome
I really don't like the current ones

Presuming you have the standard TD5 gear box, I really don't think you'd get the Puma levers to fit and the Bowler ones are based on the Puma levers.

You can change the 'knob' on top for something else and add leather gators but I think, unfortunately, that is it !

Are you talking about changing the arm for something that looks different, or something in the box to make selections more positive?

If the latter, have a look at a Slickshift. I've had a play at a show and it makes the R380 feel a hell of a lot better.

Thanks chaps

Was looking at changing the actual levers for something better looking, but at least I know I cannot

Will have a look at the slickshift as I know Duckworths do something similar (prologic I think)

For anybody interested found a decent gaiter at Exmoor trim for the TD5
Not having the Ali tops though
