Hi all

Ok got my mx-3 the other day and love it, lots to do on it thou but my main gripe at the moment is that i need to adjust the hight of the steering wheel as i am 6ft2 but cant find the handle.
I have looked under the steering wheel and around it but cant locate it.

Could anyone help at all?
Pic would be most welcome.

Many thanks all.

rax

There is a lever right in the middle towards the front that pulls straight down. And then it goes up and down from there.

I'll go out and get a pic right now.

Brilliant thanks for that.

Shame its not there thou, the gap is but it looks like the lever has either been removed or broke off! Grrrr

Ohh man that sucks.

I think your best bet would be taking the plastic pieces from around the steering column and get on the floorboard and check it out.

And as for parts, I would see exactly how it comes off and then go to a Pick a Part or junk yard and take one off.

Good luck.

I'm pretty sure some rs models did not come with steering wheel adjustment...
