hi all,

im well and truly fed up of the gearchange on my punto JTD (X Reg)

it is the most vague, stiff and unreliable gear change setup i have ever used,

it is very stiff as said above, this can usually be solved by removing the linkage and scuffing it with a bit of wet n dry but im getting to the point now where im doing that every month or so,

secondly the lever wont self center, if i pop it out of 1st the lever will stay on the left side


so my question is, if I got a remote gear change unit off a different car with the same shift pattern could i use it on my car without too much difficulty?

in cant see too much wrong with that idea, maybe i would have to adapt the lever where the cables attach to account for different throws of the cables

thanks in advance

Matt

Sounds like a lot of bother. Has it always been like this? Or has it got worse over time?

I'd be looking at taking the cables out and replacing them. There may be a kink / heat affected area in the existing cables?

use the linkage off the bravo. its much smoother and should fit.
