just fitted a puma gear linkage to my series 2 today. highly recomended, its now got a nice positive and short change. anyone else tried this?

 

no,

pics?

 

sorry didnt take any. bolts straight on to the box but needs new holes drilled in the floor to mount it at the stick end. had it done in an hour

 

which one of the two bars is this ????.

dave

 

what do you mean? i bolted the whole mechanism on from the box right back including the gear stick.

 

always been curious of this mod.... is it any model puma?

 

I think the lad is asking did you use both the stabliser bar and the gear selection bar from the puma,or just the gear selection bar from the puma with the RST stabliser bar????Regards,Micky

 

Bugger! I was supposed to send some pictures of my puma linkageto Denbo but completely forgot as I'm not here much. I'll point him this way

 

This pic any help to you its from a puma.

 

I was after Jano doing this for me a while back
Might try and ask again, as I think I have damaged my standard one at my BTST day at brunters – I ran the cones over a few times and now the gearstick is reluctant to move side to side

 

thanks ( again ) for understanding what i was on about micky !!!.

I've fancied trying this, I'm intrigued now.

Pics wouldbe nice though!

 

Been telling people to do this for years, about time someone heard me

 

How you bolt that on because there is only 2 bolt ...?
ERST Standard thing has 4 bolts.

 

yeah im pretty much ready to run down the breakers as soon as somebody could finally clear up if its model of puma dependant, n maybe a quick guide, even just some basic pics!

why is it the only people who do this mod dnt have a digi cam of some sort?!

 

been told it doesnt matter wht model puma,u gotta drill 2 holes to mount it,it sits in a slightly different place,u can to cut it and weld it back together if u want it to the same place as std

 

2 holes only?

 

by the looks m8,good enuff for a puma,no reason it cant work on a RS!check the post about it a few down

 

i have to do the linkage on my s2 rst as its very sloppy and does my head not going in gear right. has anyone on here done this puma linkage to the s2 rst as could do with a little run down on this if poss thanks.

 

Hello, I am in the process of mounting to my orion mk2 a puma gearlinkage. I have the gearlinkage in my house from a scrapyard.

I have noticed 3 things:

1- This mechanism has not return mechanism in it, the stick won`t go to the center.
2- It bolts to the floor with 2 bolts
3- The bars are about 2cm larger than our original gearchange, but I think maybe we can use our stabiliser and gearchange bar, because they are equal shape.

 

good to see people trying this out as i have a lot of interest in the conversion- any guides or info like above is gratefully appreciated

 

my d reg s2 has a push down and stick it in reverse type box,will a puma one work on mine ????????

 

I would guess it is a MTX box then? if so isn't the change already pretty sweet

 

If you have a push down type linkage once removed it will be fine using the puma type.

I had one on my car with upgraded knuckle joint that was made by Jano from oddkidd creations.

 

^^^^arent you jano lol^^^^

is it same , from puma 1.4 and 1.7 ?

 

SWITCHBLADE my name is Danny, my car is at Jano's being built as we speak rwd mk3 s1

My last car was a S2 with cossie management als, coilpack etc. I had everything bolted to my engine that Jano offers. At first i had a Stage2 box that i blew into a million pieces, i was using the puma linkage then almost 6 years ago. After that i had the MTX75 fitted and the linkage felt just as good as it did with the puma one. I broke that car for spares as it was a bit rusty. Couldnt help myself but to buy another, but a better Mk3 this time
