GLPoomobile 958 Posted April 18, 2007 In the near future I intend to buy one of Miles' short shift gear levers and full set of uprated gear rods. I've just seen these AB Motorsport Bronze gear lever bushes on eBay (item 230117701837) and wondered if they would be worth fitting at the same time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,677 Posted April 19, 2007 bloomin expensive for 2 bushes, IIRC Miles or XSport used to do a proper bearing kit to replace the bush for not much more. found it, item number 250024811883 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get it? You said it's exepensive but the item you mention is even more expensive And a different product! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,677 Posted April 19, 2007 indeed, but a much much better product Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craigb 2 Posted April 19, 2007 Eh? I don't get it? You said it's exepensive but the item you mention is even more expensive And a different product! The ab kit is 4 bushes , two of which do the job that the Xsport kit does , one is a more complicated bearing system the other a plain phosphor bronze kit . I have no experience of teh x sport kit , but i have teh ab kit fitted to my linkage . it improve the feel no end , and removes the sloppiness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted April 19, 2007 I;ve found some std Pug bushes which do the job, just need slight maching and they work a treat, Will be nice and cheap too so if you can hang on watch this space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) I replaced the two subframe pivot ones on my Visa with some new cheap standard ones. There is 0 slack on the pivot. The only slack, about 1 inch forward and back in total with the lever (same as most new cars) is 1/3 the plastic cups and the other 2/3 the actual link rod coming out of the box Edited April 19, 2007 by VisaGTi16v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VisaGTi16v 1 Posted April 20, 2007 I got mine from a Citroen main dealer, were only a couple of pounds I think so just go to Peugeot but make sure they bring the diagram up on the screen so that you can confirm its the correct bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
