Cutting 1" off the standard gear lever will reduce throw and speed-up the gear change - and is significantly cheaper.
'no' is my answer
#3: Re: Grithis quicksshift Author: Deano, Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 6:16 am ---- Sorry about the spelling I not the best of spellers
#4: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 8:07 am ---- Yes as I have one along with group N gear linkages makes it a good solid gear change.

My god obviously you've always had a half decent car.
Some of the sheds I've had the pleasure to drive in my time. My 206 is far from the worst I have ever used.
However, regards quickshifts. If it works as well on the 206 as it did my old 205 and 306 I think they are great.

nothing wrong with a 206 gearbox.
Nissan Cabstar with the back to front gearchange is the worse one I've driven so far but it's closely followed by the 306 GTI 6.

I'd have to agree with the Cabstar! Never driven a GTI-6 though, what was bad about it? Seem to remember good reviews from major magazines regarding the gearchange? I could be wrong though.

By far the best thing we did to our 206's.

When the question is 'would you fit', then 'no' is a perfectly good answer.
The best thing I ever did to my 206 was get rid of it

You can always ask for some help if you are unsure about fitting it.
It does take a couple of goes to get it just-right though.

Sorry to hear you got rid of your 206.
I wasn't sorry, you don't need to be either. Shame it wasn't fitted with a quick shift though, maybe it would have shifted quicker than it did (off my drive)

Yes, I no.
But you just admited you've never fitted one.
#16: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 7:58 pm ---- Just get one mate Thers no point in asking in here you'll only know if it's worth it until you try it your self but IMO it's a win win 2bh it takes the slack off the gear change so it don't feel as wobbley and shortens the psychical throw so it feels half decent it's worth £25
#17: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 8:23 pm ---- Mine came with an ally stopper to reduce the travel effort of the clutch pedal. Don't know if he is still putting these in the "kit", but if they are, do not fit it. Went through my clutch and seized from release bearing not engaging properly.
This guy clearly has no idea.
It cost me sh*tloads and if I ever get as far as Wales while he is still there, it'll be my £700 back or a smack in the head. If I had time and other who did the same, I would small claim the c**k.
#18: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: Deano, Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 6:13 am ---- Guess I will have to fit one and see for my self but not fit the ally stopper I guess
#19: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: pnut_man, Location: MiddlesbroughPosted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 7:21 am ---- I have one on my GTI. its been on it for 2 years now and its Great! just make sure to secure it with loctite and itll be fine. And dont make the ratio too short.
#20: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: Mr-Tigger, Location: EssexPosted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 10:25 am ---- looking at one of these in new year with a few other small tinkery bits so was good to see the feedback. anyone fitted one and had a bad experience with it........apart from the clutch "adaption"
#21: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: meas14, Location: United KingdomPosted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 12:10 pm ---- Personally I would, Peugeot gear boxes are incredibly sloppy and the gear stick wobbles all over the shop!!
#22: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 2:25 pm ---- I've never heard anything about clutch adapter from Griffith's that comes with the QS?

"I heard [Griffiths Engineering] quickshifts can ruin the syncro mesh in the gearbox not worth putting 1 in if you ask me" [saxperience]
"stifflers right ive heard it as well" [saxperience]
"I haven't had it for long and it broke.One of the rose joints came apart.Thus loosing all gears." [migweb]
"iv ordered and paid for it, but its been 3 weeks now and it hasnt turned up. iv phoned him etc... and all he says is its on the way. im going to call him this afternoon ans give him some s**t!" [106rallyeforum]
"Ive tried fitting mine and it just popped out when i tried to select a gear." [saxperience]

If you are on a budget and cannot stretch to a proper shortshift lever mech, get the group A rods from the boys at Kam Racing and this will tighten up the slack and give a great change.

Don't know about the Saxo.
It works perfectly on the 206 (MA box) if fitted properly and not by a donk.
I had ordered 2 kits for the 1.4i and they delivered to Greece immediately and that's saying something.
Note I am about the worst OEM-freak you could meet, but when it comes to Griffiths QS mod, respect.
It is beautifuly engineered and does exactly what it promisses without ruining anything. Full stop, end of story.
+ it's Welsh.
#25: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 7:36 pm ---- Well there will always be two sides to every story, but if you could see what it did to my gearbox, you'd be singing from a totally different hymn sheet.
Why spend £25 on something like this when another £75 on top can do it the "correct way". You could run a GTi on 20/40 oil - it will do the job for sure, but over time, it will wear parts quicker. The Griffiths quickshift is no different.
That's my full stop.. and I am Welsh - and ashamed that this machined piece of poo comes from the same place
#26: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 7:45 pm ---- i still don't understand why not just fit a shorter gear stick?
#27: Re: Griffiths quick shift Author: paulspug, Location: Spalding lincolnshirePosted: Wed Nov 28, 2012 1:39 am ---- fitted mine , works very well
takes few runs to adjust properly but worth it.
make it as close or wobbly as you like
