Got the car back on the road after having fitted a gearbox salvaged from 2 (one with bad dif and one jumping out of 2nd. This one had a gearbox that jumped out of 3rd (but doesnt now ith slavaged gearbox parts ) and has been named "Grasshopper" cos its green and used to jump out of 3rd etc.) Is the good weather a result of its being back on the road? Its een stuck in my garage for months cos I cant work on it in the cold.

Ever since I found out that this mod was even possible. I was absolutely itching to get mine done. Well, with a huge amount of trepidation, I carefully opened up these motors, carefully cleaned them up and wired in a couple of momentary switches....low and behold, they actually work.

Many thanks to "michallom" who posted a video on YT of a devilishly simple way of testing each VIS motor...that was all the clue I needed to understand where to attach the wires of the switch to each pin. Gentleman, if a 63yo knucklehead like me can do it...most every 75 or ZT owner should be able to do it with patience and courage.
