My brother has one in his FRST. He always got on very well with it. Make me an offer and I'll see what he says as the car is being broken

 

i think these can select the gears to fast and can damage the box

 

No worse than a B&M and I've been running that for years. As far as I know baulking of teh gears is only an issue on the Borg Warner T5 box (2wd Cossie)

 

yeh deffo shite on the t5

i had one on a series 2 and when changing fast it would most of the time crunch but when putting back to standard it never

might be just one of them things

 

If it crunched it would do my head in, can you still get new bushes for the standard gear selector

 

Just seen a new b and m for sale would suit my escort but thats 300 quid

 

get yourself a ford puma gear shift there are better than a standard shift but are not as harsh as to cause damage to the box, they do not fit straight on but if you contact jano of oddkidd creation he will adapt and fit it for not a lot of money, he is a genius with an rst, i will be getting one for my fiesta rst soon, good luck with it fella,tat2cliff

 

I've got a b&m for sale for a mk4 escort. Pm me

 

I had this on my 2nd erst

seems to be the same design as Matts, it crunched like hell when first fitted, got the front end up on jacks and adjusted the rods slightly and with a bit of fettling it was spot on, no crunching what so ever. As for valuse for money as well you really can't go wrong, best Ł50 i ever spent, and with the reputation mr lewis has been aquiring recently you cant go wrong. Go for it mate and post some feedback

 

Zetec inside has a good guide for re-furbishing the standard gear linkage which im gonna attempt over the summer

 

Seems like a good price and I can get access to a ramp at my mates garage the odd saturday, cant afford much more at the
min as im also rebuilding the engine

Cheers

 

Yeah let us know how you get on with this, its a mod i have in mind to do soon!

 

Puma gear linkage from a scrappy for Ł20??
If I wasn't using an mtx in mine,I know what I would be spending my money on!

 

i had one of these in my xr2, easy to fit and made the feel much tighter and much shorter throw.
only changed due to mtx75 conversion on a cable shift, best of all there.
