murf99 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hi All The gear shift on my 92, Q plate, supersprint, live axle, escort 4 speed seems like a very Heath Robinson affair 2 flat pieces of metal clalmped onto gear stick and then on to remote stick, wobbles all over the shop and very arkward to change gear neatly Had a look in Live Axle catalouge cant see any specific part Any ideas appreciated ( or is that how they are ? ) Many many years ago Superspeed ( I think ) used to do a remote quick shift conversion for Cortinas and Anglias, seem thats what i need ??

Nigel Riches Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Murf, Nigel again, just replied to your other post here, you were lucky to have TWO plates between the remote and gear stick, when I put my car together there was only one of those, another way of making the car lighter, or just being short changed by CC. 1982. 5 speed, clamshells.
