Re: Track road ends and threaded rod?
Now i understand what your saying, but having had a play in a 205 Mi16 with tight gear linkages, and a short shift, the difference was immence. And hell you've got to have bling, its the law!!

Re: Track road ends and threaded rod?
Only if you're black, honky!
Luke's got the short throw change on his valver, and whilst I take my hat off to the dude, that car is lovely to drive (fast), but it's a bitch round town and I'm not liking the lack of torque at the bottom, although it's built for a purpose, so ya know..
In essence, I find the gear shift just fine in both the Valver, and the TD.
Dad's car has the best shift though, fucking seemless that sonabitch!

Re: Track road ends and threaded rod?
My (sorry Gregzee's) 19 N/A, has always had a smooth shift. It's always been very precise though, get it right and it's seemless. Anything slightly out of co ordination and it responds with a baulk or a crunch!! Which serves you right I suppose

Re: Track road ends and threaded rod?
Yeah I agree, but the earlier box with the lift up reverse was never that smooth. I think they did something else besides change the selection route? I 've looked at the baulk rings on the synchro hubs, the chamfer on thre brass bits looks shallower on the later boxes....not measured it though....just an impression!!

Re: Track road ends and threaded rod?
AFAIK they are the same, or at least interchangable. I've rebuilt a BE1 box using the rings and hubs from a BE3 box, never thought to actually see if they were different mind...

Re: Track road ends and threaded rod?
It was just one of thosde things that come into mind Doc.
You know what I mean, you look at something, on a rebuild and think,I'm sure that was different.
I seem to remember those chamfers at 45 degrees whereas the ones on the later box I was doing were more like 30 degrees, which, thinking about it would slide into the selector fork err.....smoother?????
