Flol I know mate!

Message bigash mate. He had/has an exige with a wide bodykit, so he will have a good idea of what wheels were available.

I can only think they're trying to emulate the cup racers mate, but I agree 25mm is too much.

15mm spacers on a mk3 200. No adverse effects to handling whatsoever. The pics really don't do it justice!

£250 in parts just to fix that crunch. Then you've got another £380 when you find out the rest of its worn as well.

No mate they were fixed in place as all the mechanism was removed from the doors. They were 4mm thick from memory, and I paid for a window fitter to fit them.

Yeah I'm 99.9% sure they are all the same.

If that pin is a roll pin, knock it out and it should allow the collar to lift straight up.

Me neither! Lol! And nothing to apologise for mate! :up:

Yeah that'd be spot on mate tbh. For some reason, when you tagged me earlier, it didn't give me a notification.

Afraid not mate. You'd have to get something made up, or repair the original one.

Yanoo. I've had both and preferred the yanoo.

Well only time will tell tbh mate, but my opinion is yes. The most important thing you can do is change the oil in the box regularly - as in as often as you replace the engine oil. Using a good spec oil will also help the box to last.

Unfortunately mate you're still going to rush the synchro in the same way you do with the original gear lever and no amount of mechanical sympathy can make up for the design of the gearbox. I do understand what you're saying and the thinking behind it, but when you can rush the synchros with...

Yes but the only way you'd do this would be to make a gearchange at the same speed as the original lever assembly. Genuine question: do you know how a synchromesh works? As in the correct mechanical way? What mechanical sympathy do you intend on using combined with a short shift pin? I'm...

It would mean having things remanufactured mate - there wouldn't be another way around it. It's not the force at which the gearchange is made, it's the speed. The synchro ring has the job of slowing down/speeding the gear up when making a gear change. By adding the short shift pin, you are...

Yeah that's the one mate.

I have no words, but this thread delivers on every update! Cnc stuff is just p**n though!

These are p4p polycarbs and they're in the bottle green tint to match the screen. Tbh, I'd avoid bronze, but grey would still work with the screen imo.

I couldn't say if that's the kit you need or not tbh mate as I've had no experience with the scenic shifter. @rossjacko @alistairolsen the real issue is down to the synchro clearances/tolerances and the amount of movement in the gears themselves. I'd have to do a video of a mainshaft to show...

Nah not too bad at all mate. Just a bit fiddly.

Having used the yanoo before I'd always recommend it. Fantastic bit of kit imo. Never used a scenic shifter, so can't comment on that though. The bush is for the shifter pin that's at the gearbox mate. I'll try and dig a part number out.

No mate as it's a lever principle. You can alter the lengths before and after the pivot point to retain the same gear change throw. This is what Renault did with the scenic shifter. The shift pin at the box in a scenic is the same as the one found in a 172/182 for reference.

£380 to repair a crunchy 3rd and 4th gear, £250 to repair a crunchy 1st and 2nd gear. All for the sake of a £12 short shift pin. The dog teeth on the gear and selector hub wear before the brass synchro ring - hence the prices above. This is caused by rushing the gear change and people not...

Well my little girl doesn't so I'm going to say you've been fed misinformation. Lol! That video is hilarious as well!!

No, I'm a good looking guy with a great haircut, but I originate from the same area as Guy, work on the same stuff as him and also share his work ethic. Maybe you could try the latter? Flol! 😂

Yes mate I am. From the same stables as Guy Martin too.

Lies. They're indestructible! 😂 I've got a bent rod out of a 13ltr at work. I'll have to upload a pic of that bad boy!

Yep. 5mm per wheel without spacers, so 10mm overall.
