Best Quickshift kit for 172/172 CUP

[RSTDL]

Anyuone know where I can get one from???

Roamer has one on his Mk2 172 maybe PM him to ask.

 

[geoff_clio182]

His is a K-Tec short shift, same as Wayne

Geoff how much is this Quick Shift mate thet Roamer got cause I also like the idea of it ?

 

[geoff_clio182]

I think around £200 but I could be wrong...Ill text Wayne and find out!

Geoff dont worry mate, just phoned K-Tec £139 + vat and it sound simple to fit, the engineer was very helpfull. Gonna have to grab wayne at the meal so I can compare the shift types of the standard 172 to see if its worth it.

Cheers

Does Kathy know your going to grab Wayne? Just got a text back from him and he said around £200 fitted!

 

[ChavyBoy]

Errr I thought you might comment on that !

I am going to have a go if I do get one to fit it myself. Sounds so easy but then again it is a renault and this will turn out to be a nightmare buy Hoo Hum.

does anyone who is going to brands hatch have quick shift as it would be the onething that I might be interested in...

When we say easy to fit - what does the job entail????

 

[ChavyBoy]

y0z2a - Slugger (Wayne) has one on his cup as does Roamer and they are both going.

Cupsize? - Remove the gear knob by pulling it off (Oh Err), Under the car remove the plate that is below the gear link assembly (4 Torx screws) Then remove 1 bolt (Think he said 13mm) from the gear asemble. Then undo a big circlip (2" in size). Replace with new linkage and reverse instructions. This is a rough guide what the mechanic told me you also get destructions (Instructions for the benefit of Tom ) with the kit to do it yourself anyway. I love getting a hands on approach so I can help people out next time so I will be doing it myself if I buy one.

You may do but you normaly get instructions lol chavy

(Sh** unhelpful post im turning into you know who!!! Sorry Chavy and ther rest of you- im off for a lie down and a long think about what i have done)

 

[geoff_clio182]

Sounds easy

 

[ChavyBoy]

Err Tom it was a joke mate and I meant to type this in Mr Smartypants

 

[Tom]

i know sorry

i think ive been taken over by the ghost of C****** ******

 

[Scudetto]

if it really is that easy to do, then I may get one and fit it. cheers,

i had one on my old rover 200 its fiddily but kinda easy to fit

really makes a diffrence too (probably stronger than renault std one too)

 

[Roamer]

The quickShift that K-Tec supplies is a B&M one, David thought it was going to be harder to fit than it was, cos on the mk1 172 youve got to remove a section of the exhaust, but the mk2 is easy (as CB said)

I think it makes a hell of a difference to it, dead precise and solid changes now
