Guest Tidybri Posted June 8, 2006 Well ive sorted my clutch problems thankfully it wasn't a new clutch i needed in the end!! Now i face the dilema of sloppy gears!?!? So the movement from 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th is quite long and the stick touches the handbrake when id 3rd and 4th. So do i either fit a quick shift to make this shorter or is it a sighn of needing new gear rods? Also how much am i looking to spend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richsmells 2 Posted June 8, 2006 do both A full set of rods will come to about £40 i think, and you can get a replacement L bracket thingy from ebay to give the shorter throw. Miles made up my quickshift by extending the gear leaver which reduces wear on the gearbox. I think Dino has one of these too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted June 8, 2006 Check all your linkage parts are correctly tight. I've also got one of Miles gearsticks & they are better than the shortened brackets imo when everything is tightened up correctly wth decent bushes in the L bracket. Graham..

Dream Weaver 2 Posted June 8, 2006 I have GE quickshift and the Grp A rods and they are superb, would never swap back to std Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tidybri Posted June 8, 2006 How much does Miles charge for these gear sticks? And is it a fairly straight forward job for me to do as im quite rubbish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted June 9, 2006 And is it a fairly straight forward job for me to do as im quite rubbish? Far easier than fitting a GE quickshift kit in that case, a couple of screws to take the end of the centre console out, one bolt & one linkage to disconnect / reconnect & you are done. Best thing is it can all be done from inside the car. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
