Dodgy gear shift

[murf99]

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 ??

Try Redline, surely they must be able to help.

Don't you fancy swapping to a type 9?

That's how my one was before I fitted the 5-speed.

Hi All

 

Thanks for replies, will try Redline, am now looking at fitting 5 speed as i am running

4.1 LSD and top speed is about 105 mph

 

Gear box in car is escort casing with close ratio gear set by BGH i think and considering only have 135 bhp it is nippy up to 90 mph, guess i need c /r 5 speed any

suggestions where to source one from, i will put this last bit back on Tech Talk i think

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.
