#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.

#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
