i did the conversion & fitted the new gate. was pretty straight forward, just a little file up of the 1-2 ramp but so far it feels good. had to swap out a stronger spring on the shifter knob shaft as the old one wouldn't return to the top of the gate but that was pretty easy. can't wait to try it in battle.
as per factory
take the front plate off, thats the spring that was too weak.
find the bits you don't want, bit like gutting fish really.
say goodbye to the old gate
bolt it back together
lube it to death & you're done.
