Gearbox Linkage

It's nearly done


Does anyone know if this part is available ?Linkage pivot knuckle ?The rubber grommets are a bit the worse for wear .Parts list quotes 3 different 60 numbers ?

[stephendell]

Yes the rubber bushes have been replaced by nylon ones though. Approx £100+VAT. I would be suprised if you could get any gears at all with that one

Did the bolts turn up?

No bolts yet

You have got my new address

Which part # is it ???
What shape should the nylon bits be ? I can poss turn some up .I assume they are rounded off ?? Rather than just a cylindrical bush ?
Any pics out there ?

Took me money and now they ring up saying it's not available .So I've got to go to Sherwood and they'll credit my card and I still need to get it sorted before it can go back in ..........................

I'm sick of this fookin about ...............Gonna buy a UR Quattro

They had them in stock in Dieppe.

They were around 136 euro + tax (less any discount).

We'll be going back in a couple of weeks if you still need one.

Not cheap though.

I knew you'd say that Renault Notts swear blind it's not available
I'm turning me own balls If they work I'll get a batch made up ,if not I'll have to wait till you go again ..........

Some parts are cheaper in UK some are cheaper in France, but availability is always better in France.

Next trip will be in 2 weeks or so. Happy to pick up any orders.

By the way the nylon balls are retained by tiny split pins through their centres.

I'm going to heat my balls in the oven and slip them over the shank
Found just the jobs to do it off the shelf ,correct material and diameter .All I need to do is drill the middle out slightly smaller than the pin .....................

It's not the price ,more the ' Can't be effin bothered attitude ' of most Renault dealers .I understand all the Ren Sport/Alpine stuff comes through one UK agent ,yes ?
I can email Simon Auto on the Monday and the parts are here by Wednesday
Still waiting for the crank sensor from Renault Derby ordered over two months ago

I had one about 2 weeks before you, arrived in 3 days. I probably specified a 25t one (easier manual for them to find on the computer apprently)

My balls were a tad big so I've had to lap out the sockets but it all seems to work just fine .Can't be worse than it was before . Should be back up and running this weekend .
