Help required Quickshift

stewfo · October 1, 2005

Hi

Does anyone know if i can hire the use of a hydraulic ramp in Aberdeen

Tried to fit a P1 quickshift to MY00 but having the car jacked up and on blocks did not have enough room to get the top linkage bolt out.

Any help would be grateful.

Cheers

This can be done without a ramp if you have a good trolley jack and an axle stand.

Jack one side right up. Use a point on the subframeand it will jack the whle side of the car off the ground allowing access for fattys like me

Let me know how you get on.

Juts remember that its safety first!! USE AXLE STANDS AND TELL THE WIFE TO CHECK ON YOU EVERY 5 MINUTES

Hi

Hi Soob

Tried that had the car on 2 6in blocks one side and a 4 in blockthe other side but was unable to get the top linkage nut undone.

Was under the car for about 4 hrs. Tried getting to the nut from inside the car but still no joy.

Had to give up and and put the old gear linkage back together as i was in Alford.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have fitted a few quickshifts and every one has been done from the top with the car sat on the ground.

Start by removing all the gear lever surround which goes up to the cup holder.

hi

This is a Quickshift linkage from a P1 which requires removal from underneath the car.

I have inserted an image, let me know what u think.

Cheers

I think that its straight forward

Call me next week and we can stick it on some night.

I will stick some tools in the car tonight before I head up
