scenic shifter info needed

LeeRS · Feb 28, 2016

Wondering what you are combining with the scenic shifter setup.

Are you:

A. using just the shifter with not stiff shift.

If so, how does it feel?

B. using it with a yanoo kit.
If so, which kit are you using.

C. Any other modification setup.

Have just had a few mixed pieces of advice so am a bit confused what to go for.

@bashracing will be able to advise mate.

Standard scenic = sloppy as the clio set up.
scenic with yanoo = perfect for daily/road/track car use, Takes around 50% of the sloppiness out.
Pure MS shifter = for men only! track use, it will do your tits in fitted to a daily.

I'm using it with yanoo 3.0 and when it was all new it felt amazing, very stiff and precise. I just have a bit of an ongoing issue with something causing slop.

I'd recommend bending the gearstick backwards though. It's way too close to the radio as standard .

LeeRS · Feb 28, 2016

My standard shifter isn't sloppy though. Feels nice and tight. Maybe it already has a stiff shift. Can I check under the gaiter to see?

bloke · Feb 28, 2016

just get pms one, the scenic one is the same set up so you're only really getting a longer shifter and a gaiter that doesn't fit on the shaft properly.

LeeRS · Feb 28, 2016

I would if I could afford one lol.
Cant see them on their website either?

bashracing · Feb 28, 2016

I wouldn't recommend a PMS in a daily unless you have sadomasochistic tendencies

LeeRS · Feb 28, 2016

Haha, that bad? I heard they vibrate quite a lot.
Come on, what shall I do. Ive got the shifter, just need to know what to put with it. Ocd will not allow me to settle on something untill I know full details.

bashracing · Feb 28, 2016

It sounds like this after a while

Where's the slop? The small bush (plastic) below the gearstick its self can either break or run its cause.

Also I have the scenic shifter with the 1.0 and find it great for what I need.

I wish I knew. Tried changing a few bushes now and it's not sorted. It's not the one under the gearstick as thats brass and been replaced with the yanoo!

PMS is like £200 more expensive? Not like it's a direct alternative @bloke

DanGPR · Feb 28, 2016

Anyone got a part number for the Scenic shifter? There's none on eBay at the moment, might see if I can get one new from Renault.
And are the Stiff Shift kits still being produced and sold?

Glad I cancelled PMS if Dumb and Dumber aka @LeeRS @imprezaworks Come into tune changing gear.

debussetti · Feb 28, 2016

Scenic Shifter, Yanoo Stiff Shift 3.0, extra inch taken off the linkage.
I like that the 3.0 allows you to dial in the stiffness, and the Scenic Shifter and shortened linkage put the stick in a much nicer place.
Would definitely get my vote on a road car.

The tower is higher on the Scenic shifter, and raises the gear knob significantly, and for cost/effort, I don't think it can be faulted.

bloke · Feb 28, 2016

you'll all change your tune when dan finally gets one and doesn't stop raving on about it:wink:

LeeRS · Feb 28, 2016

So, back to original post.
Will stiff shift 1.0 work with the scenic shifter as I can get one on order.

imprezaworks · Feb 28, 2016

Mine works. I've told you mate

LeeRS · Feb 28, 2016

True.

masekwm · Feb 28, 2016

Do it properly and fit a PMS one

LeeRS · Feb 28, 2016

Zzzzz

imprezaworks · Feb 28, 2016

Lol!!!!

Gibbo4k · Feb 29, 2016

Can you get the stiff shift kit without the stick as I have the scenic stick fitted but it is sloppy compared to the original one. I'd have a pms one but don't want it vibrating all the time.
Thanks

bloke · Feb 29, 2016

they don't vibrate all the time, vibration is minimal on them.

LeeRS · Feb 29, 2016

@Gibbo4k you have a scenic shifter without stiff shift?

Gibbo4k · Mar 1, 2016

Yea mines normal bushes inside its not too bad really only I have a civic type r as my everyday car and it makes the clios gear shift feel really crap. Mite just get a pms one I think

LeeRS · Mar 1, 2016

Just going to use normal bushes in mine. If its crap I will change it over.
Its proving hard to get hold of a stiff shift.

Gibbo4k · Mar 1, 2016

I didn't even know they did one for the scenic shifter but guessing it's the same as the Clio one.

LeeRS · Mar 1, 2016

Anyone got a link to that thread where it has pics of where you need to chop the linkage and by how much to lean the gearstick towards the driver slightly please?
Cant use the search bar on this phone for some reason.

I did mine a few months ago and cut off approx 2cm, went back to it this weekend just gone and probably cut the same off again.
The female sleeve now pretty much bottoms out on the male section you cut so I wouldn't want to do anymore (it'll make sense when you look at it).
Oh and definitely do what the thread says and mark it so you know where the two parts slide back together, I lost my mark and only had a couple of gears causing myself 10 mins of trial and error getting it set up again.

LeeRS · Mar 1, 2016

Cheers for that mate. Makes sense.

LeeRS · Mar 1, 2016

Just read all that, says towards the end of the thread that no cutting is necessary.

Ills · Mar 1, 2016

It's a sleeve joint, yes you can just slide it a bit further together but you can't do it enough to notice a difference in my experience. Either cut the male part down, or as someone has suggested on that thread there's nothing stopping you from cutting the female section down and re-cutting the notch so it can still clamp up on the male part.

LeeRS · Mar 1, 2016

Ah, I see.
I think I will need to be underneath to get the full picture.
I don't have to stretch really far for the stick so will just go a bit at a time.

Ills · Mar 1, 2016

Yeah it's makes a lot more sense when it's in front of you!

imprezaworks · Mar 1, 2016

You can slide it yes. You need to cut a bit off. Tony hunter did it ages ago, that's my first memory of it.

LeeRS · Mar 1, 2016

Love a bit of angle grinding.

dann2707 · Mar 2, 2016

Don't do it, I beg you. It makes it short and hit the manifold. And you end up resting against it in second gear and it resonates through the gearstick when you're in gear.

Bend the gear stick back. It's what i'm doing this weekend!
