scenic shifter info needed

[LeeRS]

let me know how it goes Dan.

 

[Nick_Leeds]

@dann2707 is right is fouls on the manifold if you take too much off.

 

[LeeRS]

Cheers for the heads up. How are you planning on bending it? Just brute force or do you have a cunning plan?

 

[imprezaworks]

Would need to be taken out and in a vice at the least. Obviously I would do it in situ as immensely powerfull

 

[dann2707]

Big vice and get your mum to sit on it.

 

[LeeRS]

Mums dead.

 

[dann2707]

Use mine instead

 

[LeeRS]

Flol.

 

[Ills]

I must have got lucky then, no sign of any banging or vibrating. Yet....

 

[Stay Puft]

Thought it would be best to keep it in one thread.

Just bought this, believe it maybe @bashracing old one.

Scenif shifter with yanoo 3.0 stiff shift.

Where does the white ball gear knob thing come from.. and can i buy a black one? White is just a bit too aftermarket for me.

 

[bashracing]

yep, pair of mole grips and twist and pull,
buy the black knob of eBay, drill hole out to slightly smaller than the shifter shaft and tap it on with a rubber mallet
:up:

I reckon it's done more miles with royal mail than it did in my hillclimb car now

Any links mate? Does it need to be a specific one? Do you know if the clio one would fit?

 

[LeeRS]

All depends on the size of the hole in the knob itself. Sure you can make it fit if its to big with some resin or alike.
If to small then drill it out as said above.

I believe @ADS1982 bought one of those furry tail butt plugs for his gearknob if that helps.

 

[bloke]

just google 'black knob' and you'll find one.

Surely a tiny knob like yours won't fit in the hole,no matter what persuasion you give it

 

[Stay Puft]

Where does the white one come from as majority of these scenic shifters ive seen has it?

 

[imprezaworks]

Google quaife style gear knob on eBay.

A little one fits everywhere iirc.

 

[imprezaworks]

@ADS1982 gonna need confirmation

 

[ADS_V6]

@ADS1982 gonna need confirmation

yes they are available on eBay :up: Git

 

[Stay Puft]

Found it, cheers.

Black ones listed as M10x1.5mm and M12x1.25mm.. @bashracing I dont suppose you know what size the white current one is?

 

[LeeRS]

Not as big as the black one. Never is.

 

[imprezaworks]

That's a story not related to this thread. General chat under 'things I like' is where that belongs. Iirc.

 

[bashracing]

get either of them as the hole needs to be bored out anyway as the gearstick shaft is around 14mm iirc

That gearstick is the original and started the trend on here of quaife knobs on scenic shifters

Thanks mate, ill order that one and then just attack it with a drill until it fits?

1. Im a poor student

[imprezaworks]

1. No idea
2. It's not
3. I use mine daily
4. You will end up with one

1 no such thing.
2 it isn't.
3 great for road use.

 

[leeds2592]

I've got a white knob and it doesn't look too out of place.

I've got carbon dash/steering wheel inserts so I just think it looks a bit aftermarket. Plus my girlfriend said it looks like a lightbulb/dildo...

I've ordered the black one, hopefully I can make it fit.

You just need to drill it a bit so it's an interference fit when pushing it on the shaft.

I google'd your engineering term! Makes sense though. So just drill slightly bigger than the shaft and force it on.

No the other way around. You want to drill it slightly smaller so you have to "force" it on.

If you drill it bigger it's going to be floppy and loose.

I'd recommend buying some cheap vernier calipers on eBay so you can measure the diameter of the shaft. Comes in handy for so many other things too and for £10 ish its a good investment.

 

[dann2707]

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282082233818

Not sure if I'm being blind but I couldn't see it listed on this thread.. what year/model/engined cars come with the shifter we want?

 

[Stay Puft]

RENAULT SCENIC 1 I JA BJ01 1.9 DCI RX4

[Stay Puft]

Just had another look at my shifter and this part is broken, meaning I cant select reverse. I didnt spot it when I received it so I assume it's somehow happened in the garage. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it, or can I buy a replacement 'sleeve'?

@bashracing @dann2707

 

[leeds2592]

Mine's a bit different to yours, however the outer sleeve came away from the inner bit of mine which meant that the full thing didn't lift up so I couldn't get reverse.

I just slapped aload of Gorilla Glue on it and it's been fine ever since.
