Gear Selector L-linkage Pivot Bolt Fell Out

[SweetBadger 94]

2nd breakdown in 2 weeks! 1st the accelerator cable goes now the bloody bolt that holds the L-lingage pivot has come undone and fallen out!

 

So currently stuck in 3rd gear! London rush hour traffic's going to be fun tonight...

 

I need the car over the christmas so need to get a fix in place asap, anyone know the bolt size thread or peugeot part number?

[SweetBadger 94]

Crisis averted! Just got off the phone to Stew at Bakerbm, all the parts I need should be with me tomorrow

 

Top bloke!

its M10 if you need to stick a bolt in there to move it, the shank of the original bolt is 14 or 16mm .

Excellent, cheers for the info.

 

Would imagine I've got an M10 bolt spare somewhere, if not there's probably a less crucial M10 bolt on the car that I can nick.

Are you getting a new pin ?

 

If not i've got one you can have for free.

 

just PM an address

if he's spoken to Stew I'd imagine one of his bronze bushed quadrant pivot kits is on the way, they use a normal M10 bolt and a machined sleeve rather than a larger shank on the bolt (just like the 306 does as it happens.)

Hi many thanks for the offer Craig - would have saved me an awful lot of hassle! But as Welshpug says I've got a bronze bushed quadrant pivot kit ordered which should have everything I need.

 

Also decided to go for a new set of gear rods as an early xmas pressie too . As far as my wife's concerned they're essential to get the car running again...

any m10 bolt will help you out of a pickle until tomorrow, maybe a bit of plastic in there to fill the gap a little.

Failing that put it in 2nd instead? A 1900 will do 60mph at the redline in 2nd so 30mph should only be 3000rpm. better than trying to change a clutch in the snow on christmas morning!

Good plan, only ended up with 3rd as I was stuck on a red route with very little time to get going again.

 

Unfortunately it's going to be dark when I leave work and get a chance to try change gear... Any idea what combination of the two gear selectors give 2nd?

 

Thinking about it, if you're facing the gearbox from the front of the car I think it should be smaller one to the right, larger one to the left...
