Default S1 RSt QUICKSHIFT

just got S1 RSt, gear selection a bit fiddly, especially between 2nd to 3rd.

i seem to remember a similar problem on my XR3i a long time ago. i
think we changed a nylon ball on the lever? can't remember if we changed whole lever or just ball...

anyway, if i go for a quickshift kit, will this sort it out? B&M do one for about £170, seen good reviews, rally design do one at only £60ish. is this as good? or are there any others you could recommend?

cheers,
Dylan

The s1 selectors go sloppy, as the return spring sits in a plastic holder, which tends to break.

I've fitted (but never used ) the B&M on my car, makes the gear selector nice and tight again tho

he B&m comes mainly pre-assembled, and take 20 mins to fit, where as the cheaper kit i believe you have to use mose of the existing parts, and drill/cut bit about
