puma gear linkage conversion....
Hi, was hoping someone can help me on this. Drove a puma today and noticed the gear selection was really positive and close. Am sure i've heard before that these can be used on s2 rs's.
Is this right and what do i need to get and do to make it all work?
Maybe Jano might be able to help on this one......?
Cheers, Mark

Just buy one and install it. The small things to be taken care of you will notice when you install it. There are two things to consider if I recall. The mounting of the shifter to the body is different and the length of the rods possibly needed shortening.

Recently spoke to a friend who has one fitted to his S2. He said the gearbox end is p'n'p. The selector itself sits a bit further back than the original one and can be left that way (he did), but ~1-2cm can be taken away from the selector rods if one wants the stick to sit exactly where it was. Then the plastic casing of the selector box is a bit wide to comfortably sit in the S1/S2 chassis tunnel and a little grinding was needed. The fixing to the body is different and can be done with the Puma's bracket or any other way one sees fit. The selector itself is quite cheep, cheeper than overhauling the old one. It's around 100e here at Fords, so around 60-70Ł over there on the rainy island.

So as is, the puma sits the stick further back? How does effect the interior console/gator? A little further back would be quite good for tall people like me
