I'll have to get one of these on mine. I've got one on the 106 and been very impressed with it, now the 306 seems to have a long gearchange  Is it the same principle of having a small metal bracket on the end of one of the linkages? And I presume you have to do it from underneath in the 306? ________________________________________ Onyx Black 106 RALLYE///Bianca White 306 RALLYE///Now sold |

No I did mine from the top.  Nearly got my arm stuck mind Between the back of the ECU box, bulkhead the strutbrace and the alarm siren.  My arm was a bit to big. ________________________________________ My Rallye was built on thursday 7th January 1999 according to the cosmic code generator.My Cyclone refurb |

I got a second hand gearbox put in the other day. When they put the box in they also fitted a GE quickshift.Was fine first day. Then second day started car up and there was a grinding noise when in 2nd, 4th, 6th or reverse, but the grinding noise was only there when I pulled back on the gearstick normally - if i pulled back lightly then it was - in gear and fine. The noise is there all the time in reverse though. Basically do you think the box is knackered or could it just be the quickshift? There is a brand new clutch kit on the car. |

They really need to pin it to the shaft to stop it turning, I;ve seen a few do that and on 205's with the same mod with the linkages on and the Q/S removed I;ve always had good comment's,________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

How the hell do I get the ball join apart where the quickshift goes? Am I missing something, or is it sheer funking brute force that does it, ecause I can't bloody shift mine!and fwiw I've had miles' rods on my 205 for a while now (with a chopped L bracket quickshift mod) and it's absolutely spot on. Gearchange is tight as anything and with the lengths being adjustable, the stick sits in the right place for me too, one of the best upgrades I've done to the car.

Think I did the same, just used a screwdriver. iirc I just twisted the linkage on the ball one of the ways it would twist, then levered under it with a screwdriver, took a bit of faffing but it popped off eventually. Was just worried about breaking something, or the other end popping off at the same time and then having to p*ss about with that end too! ________________________________________  Black Rallye |

I have one question about the quickshift's compatibility - the 306/Xsara one probably works for 306 S-16 (5-speed) right? But does it work for 405 Mi-16 as well? And if not, is there a model that fits it without modifications?________________________________________ post.tenebras.lux11 May 1998 |
