gear linkages

[don55]

jsut went out for a drive in my car, i up shifted pretty hard into 3rd and popped of the linkage, at the gear box end.

pull over, off comes the bonnet and its actually split at the rubber, so new ones are needed.

no i seem to remember there are three options for replaceing these.

std one
kam racing ones
rose jointed >? sure i saw some rose ones a while ago

ok are the kam racing ones worth £50 over std ones for £15

x sport are the rose jointed ones

ive got a set there very good iirc there about 35-40 quid for xsports

the xsport ones are not rose jointed and neither are the ones on our site. They have metal locking clips to keep everything tight and in place.

I wouldn't use rose joints on a road car as they need to have a certain level of maintanance. The ones we have can be fitted and forgotten about

ah right then sorry my bad

no problem. To fit the rose jointed links to a saxo gearbox isn't exactly plug and play. Will have a look for a picture.

we're looking at a few different rose jointed products to sharpen up the handling / help improve things on lowered cars suspension wise. Should have something for the gears early next year
