just wondering who has fitted these 2 there rs turbos and how much diffrence they make over the standard items on the ersts???

 

It depends if you like stirring porridge or not
Get one they are loads better

 

ive heard a puma gear linkage will fit the s2 with not much hassle , anyone know ?

 

if your into cheap mods you could chop your gearstick down

 

lol emm id rather have a proper short throw shifter.. dont believe in and cut and shut.....

 

The pivot point needs raising to make it short throw, so that wont change a thing

I hated mine at first. (B&M) had to mod it to make it competition proof, as the rubber seal/alloy bearing idea just wasn't upto it

Once you get used to it its fine, the only thing I still don't like about it is I can now hit reverse from 5th as there is no gate

Its not made anything any quicker - just more positive, so it depends on your reason for wanting one I suppose.

 

Pain to get used too, especially when giving it some and can't get 3rd gear

Good positive modification though

 

hey NUTS RUS what do u mean by more postive mate? i mean iv got a stage 2 CTS gearbox. thought that maybe thats the next thing for the car.. i only use the car for fast road use and if it would make the gearchange feel a bit tighter in anyway then its something that i would defintly consider getting.

 

NUTS RuS......

I was always told......NO ONE LIKES A SMART ASS

Hmmmmm no gate for reverse is never a good thing mind, i had a car that the linkage was so worn (as most of them are on these) that you could hit reverse from 5th, did it everytime until i got used to it

 

Well it will certainly make it feel tighter (positive selection between gears), but infact it dosnt change any of the rods, so if your problem is with them then its a bit pointless.

And any chav should know that the bit that stops you hitting reverse is inside the plastic bit under the lever, not in the linkage itself Simple 10 minute job to change

 

In a mk4 gearbox the "5th to reverse gate" is in the box.

 

Got mine up for sale on ebay. One of the best upgrades I bought for the car!

Yeh its a good bit of kit got a B&M on mine. Takes abit of getting use to as said above ..

 

If you don't go for the B&M its always worth Re-Furbing your standard one!!

My car has only done 60k miles and the gearchange is sweet as a nut becase the components are in GOOD condition.

Stip the assembly apart and replace the bits that look worn...fill it up with grease and the gearchange is very good in my opinion!!

Any car with a 100k mile old assembly will feel sloppy!!
