Scenic shifter- whats best?

[Allan H]

Right. Getting the scenic shifter sorted but seems to be so many opinions as to what works best!
Have ordered Yanoo's stiff shift 3.0.
My plan was to bend the shaft slightly and extend the base section to shorten the shift.
Yanoo recommends fitting the 15% quickshift and shortening the linkage rod to get the shifter moved back a bit.
So which one is it? Yanoo obv knows his beans and a lot of folk have shortened the linkage but if bending works and is easier I'm more inclined to do that!
Ps- I know quickshift can f**k up the synchro so not 100% sure about that at the mo.
Help please!

bending seems more work to me than shortening the shift rod.

- mark rod for alignment
- seperate rod
- saw off a small bit off the gearbox end
- refit and align
- test
repeat if needed

Aye fair enough mate. Have you extended the bottom of the shifter tho? Slightly concerned about fitting a 15% quickshift.. are those easy to do? Not sure if the extended base section gives the same effect but is less likely to bugger the gearbox..

 

[bozothenutter]

I Have the yanoo 15%, it is 15% quicker so it compensates for the longer throw.
I also have his Fast road shifter, no idea if the bottom is extended on that though tbh.

Was the 15% easy to fit?

Bend shaft, extend bottom, stiffen up with o rings.

Better than fitting quickshift then?

Extending the bottom is essentially shortening the throw

Does it work tho mate? I know you've got an extended one..

Yeah, it's shorter into gear

 

[Allan H]

Sound mate. Mibbe do that rather than fit the quickshift. Will see how much room there is underneath first!

Scenic shifters don't exist.. well I can't find one anyway!

Ive got one thats been extended and has a poly gearknob fitted , not sure if its one of Ash's earlier ones or not.

Stick a post on here or on fb mate. That's what I did. They do come up on here every now and again tho not many recently.

 

[Allan H]

So.. next question... where can i get a non buggered gaiter for underneath? Or should i just buy a CV boot and bodge it?

Is that a for sale advert? Has it been bent back?

I will be listing it and a few other parts in the next couple of weeks on here.

That's a good question. There is a part number on it, i'll have a look tomorrow and post the number maybe someone can check for us.

Has it been bent back and what price

I'm not sure if it's still available after a bit of googling..

[Clio_fool]

Not fitted to any current dacia? Or anything similar that could be adapted?

 

[Louis]

You get a similar seal in with the rebuild kit that you are able to use but it's not as large, not that it matters. I'll grab a photo later

 

[Allan H]

Cheers mate! Was just going to bodge something like this on..

 

[Radugns]

I use the boot from the steering rack.
I also have the scenic shifter and bend the shaft is a must, otherwise you will hit the radio and is not really nice to shift into 5th gear.
I have also cut around 2" from the stick, it is also a little higher than the OE one, but the throw is a lot shorter.
With yanoo is a really nice setup for road use.
