I believe they slightly changed the design to stop that happening.

Yes but you got told the same thing.
But if this is correct then there is nothing to worry about.

#13: Re: Quick shifter for Hdi Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 8:24 am ---- What is the difference between the griffiths one and this type; www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEU...337396967f
Also, my gearbox is not exactly brand new, especialy 1st gear. Will it be easy to use or just finish it off?!
#14: Re: Quick shifter for Hdi Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:10 am ---- Frankaai - I have one that I bought off here but haven't fitted (never been fitted). Be willing to let it go for £17posted (what I paid for it IIRC).
#15: Re: Quick shifter for Hdi Author: Lewis, Location: Isle Of WightPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 9:48 am ---- the griffiths only killed the GTI box if i remember rightly!

Less than perfect box so I was a bit worried but it works fine with it on.
#20: Re: Quick shifter for Hdi Author: twitch169, Location: lincolnPosted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 12:03 pm ---- dont mean to sound stupid but what does it actually do ? never herd of this on a 206
#21: Re: Quick shifter for Hdi Author: frankaai, Location: BelfastPosted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 12:42 pm ---- its basically an extension from the gear linkage to the gear selector on the gear box, it makes it easy to change gears as the 206 is quite ropey from 1st to 3rd, thats the best way i can explain it, its a small bracket made from metal, costs around 20 quid upwards
#22: Re: Quick shifter for Hdi Author: V9977, Location: Athens, GreecePosted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 4:13 pm ---- It shortens the distance you have to move the gear-stick up/down to engage gears.
It does not however alter the left/right distance as replacing the whole stick would.
It comes in the form of a small aluminium extension adaptor which is fitted to the gear bracket.
I had to remove batt compartment and air/filter hose and was easy to fit after that.
