+1 I have the fast road kit...excellent, and fits in the standard interior.
the pms (in my eyes) is more of a race/full on trackday solution (as is all pms stuff)

I have a brand new Yanoo kit for sale if you're interested?
Based on what people have said, I'd say the PMS is great for track but the rattles are too much for a daily. Not tried one myself though.
The Yanoo kit is a great setup and works well on the road with no compromises. Probably couldn't own another Clio without one.

PMS is priceless I've used both and there is no comparison the engineering is second to none on the PMS and isn't a "short" throw shifter so doesn't rush the syncros but gives solid precise gear changes. I use mine everyday on the road and on track. Can't fault it!

I love my PMS. Absolutely love it.
Even the rattle :rasp:

for the amount of time I have used my car with the PMS I love it, just be prepared for some rattles if you get one

My other half loves the vibrations
Ive tried both, and I dont think there is any difference other than the length of the lever and hence the lever location, both completely remove the play while not shortening the throw.
Are you sure it was a yanoo kit that you used? As it doesnt sound like it. Maybe it was a B&M one (which does shorten the throw a bit)

Hey up mate,
Tbh I couldn't be a 100% it was, as I didn't fit it, was just told that its what was on the car. If the yanoo kit doesn't shorten the throw I've been mis informed somewhere, I don't know much about them.
The PMS I do on the other hand, and I love it :rasp:
Lol
Its certianly the one thing about the pure kit that makes it undeniably better in that respect than any other.
Less distance from wheel to shifter is only ever a good thing IME
CLIO 182
Amen to that ^^^^
Maybe there is more than one yanoo kit. Certainly at least some of them dont shorten the throw, but maybe others do.

I honestly wouldn't know could have been one of the eBay £20 specials for all I know haha it did feel pretty precise I must admit tho just felt shorter throw in comp with the PMS maybe the extra length was just deceiving and I was told the short throw ones can rush the gears when going though em quickly which can be detrimental?
Preservation is important in my eyes for these already potentially sensitive boxes lol
Yeah anything that shortens the throw can make it easier for you to beat the synchros.
Ive got a B&M shortshift on my Mk1 and I love it but I am always careful not to rush moving the sychros with it, so I move the stick slightly slower than on the 182 or my turbo which are standards shifters.

I've got a scenic shift (longer) with a yanno kit and burpspeed mod to bring it back toward the driver. neil a had it on his track car and said it worked well, fitting it tomorrow. I'll let you know how I get on.

You could get a Yanoo shifter kit that came with a short shift linkage gents. I have the stiff shift 1.0 and I rate it. Haven't tried a pms shifter so can't comment.

Hi Tom
Ive actually sold the megane/yanoo shifter and switched to the PMS. If i used my car on the road I would of probably stuck with the magane one as it looks factory and gives a nice shift, but the PMS is more direct but is a track designed part so you get the motorsport noises with it .

Does the longer shifter come from only the Scenic version or are they longer in the normal Megan too? And which model/year?
Was chatting with Yanoo about the Fast Road Shifter kit with the longer arm but he says he won't have any for 8 weeks. He said it is +35 mm longer above the gear stick ball than the Clio one.
Would anyone know the length of the Scenic shifter as it may be possible to put together a cheaper FRS kit if they are similar lengths.
1999-2003 megane scenic I think they came from Chip after that they went to cable shift.

Bit of a bump...
Out of interest, how did you go about shortening the length of the rod?
182cup & 172 racecar
Jack car up, mark with a pen along the side where the two pieces meet, undo 13mm nut, pull out shaft and you should be left with about 6 inches of rod.
Cut about 10-15mm off this piece and connect back up, the gear lever will now be more inclined back towards you, if it's not enough, then cut a little more off.
Been discussed many times on here.
