i only felt a small bit of difference. Still has play though :(

i bet its all in the 108k box it still has from new

/\ this/\ !!!!!
Cheers

It's in the FAQ which is stickied...

ok, i put in a 2nd washer, and it feels quite stiff pushing the gearstick side to side :(

might do it for the third time and take the 2nd washer out as i dont think it rotates smoothly

actually, rather than get another roll pin and replace it again, anyone know if i can just grease up the washers to make it rotate smoothly?

putting washerson is not curing the problem
the problem is the lever is worn ,so all you are doing side loading it against the seal
far easier just to hit it with the welder between the lever and the shaft it is on
any garage will do it fro you for a small fee ,if you don,t have access to a welder--and its a permanent solution
once the rubber seal or alloy casing starts wearing then your washer cure will need to be done again
its no

short shifter works a treat with sloppy gear stick! oh worth a ganders see if your box has the auto short throw. ie the ball joint just a tad further up.

ill have to sort a piccy to show.

just for reference, i changed this part (no.6), the shaft sockets and it made a difference with play but mainly reduced vibration whilst accelerating.

They cost 71p and you need 2 of them, well worth doing in my opinion.
part no. 245052

Updated parts prices
 

Excellent write up of how to do, also including part numbers!

I just wanted to give my experience of my local Citroen Dealership (Evans Halshaw Stockton-on-Tees)...

To order the parts they need to see me in person to pay via a debit card! (what century do these guys live in!?! LoL)


They quoted me...

2444965 - £46.03 all in
2414A6 - £45.63 all in
250924 - £0.41 all in


I then called my local Peugeot dealer (Simon Bailes Stockton-on-Tees), who quoted me the same prices, but who do live in the 21st century & would be able to order the parts over the phone.

I know who I'll be calling then!

Cheers,
Pete.

Welcome
In English and I do not know English so I use google translator sorry.
Unfortunately Hungarian forum yet so here I would ask for help if you can.

96 citroen saxo 1.1.

Gear linkage I changed all three. Stages were difficult and it was not good for the old one. In the foregoing, I set the exact size of the new ones. Very tight and accurate but the change was 1.2 freaked goes into place. The rest is perfect. The transmission is in neutral while leaving I changed the bars. It was recommended to me in reverse, and adjust the size of the rods and then put them back, I just think it's more than the 1 "will be pushing too" vague and again at present or worse. Can I get someone to try to tanácsotmit should worsen or do I describe?

great post will be doing mine in the next wk or 2 thanks:y:

can you still get these parts from citroen/peugeot dealers?

Great guide

Need to use this guide later on. Had the linkages replaced about 5-6000 miles ago and coming to work today couldn't get 2nd gear. I eventually got it but there was a large thud and they play started in the stick. I can select all gears but when it's engaged I can move the stick quite a lot :S

Yeah I think I am going to have a go at this too... My gear change is very notchy and I have at least 1 1/2 of play on the lever each way in neutral not good....

Excellent guide. More new parts to buy ! :)

This is something am looking to do as I have a lot of play in my unit. How long would this take someone to do as never done this before. How simple is it to do is it a mater of just un screwing the screws and other bits and taking old off and popping new on?
