#3: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:24 pm ---- It's the #5 that's snapped off (apparently the self-tap screw can't get back in place so that mechanic decided to weld it):
#4: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:29 pm ---- looking at them 3 spots of weld you would have been better off with blue tac
wheres it snapped off at ?
{ EDIT } you reposted as i was relpying
thats the pivet point for the gear linkage and that needs to move so welding it will not help and now seeing as its full of weld the only way to sort it is either a new sub frame or remove that one and grind the weld out and re thread the hole.
you say a mechanic welded it ?
#5: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:38 pm ---- Probably they chose to weld it as there was no good way to get access to that #71 above.
Snapped at my workplace Remained in the 2nd gear and made all those 30miles home revving and coasting, THAT WAS FUN!
Who knows where it snapped off at, but it was definitely at where they have welded it
#6: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 4:50 pm ---- i'd find a new mechanic as the one you have has made a whole load of expense for you.
as i said the only way to sort that now is either a new sub frame or remove that one and recut the thread but neither is going to be cheap as a fair ammount of work is involved
take it to another garage and see what they say when you tell them a mechanic welded it
#7: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 5:01 pm ---- Is this off the sub frame? I had a similar problem but mine was on a down shift from 4 down to 3 then the pivot point snapped and I over revved........ Big bill. I just got mine wielded up and new gear linkages put on
#8: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 5:08 pm ---- Yes, it is off the sub-frame. My one was downshifting from 3rd to 2nd, felt weird, but luckily it went fully into the 2nd, and then snapped (figured out when started to look for the 3rd again, but found none :D)
I should go under and take more pictures of how the pivot link mount post looks like, and whether there is any thread remaining for it.
Thanks for the names of the car parts, now that I could google "pug 206 sub frame" things are getting clearer and clearer
#9: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 5:14 pm ---- surely that can't be expensive from new?

#12: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: anton1989, Location: west midlandsPosted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 5:28 pm ---- if you need another subframe i have one £20 collection cv11

#14: Re: gear link snapped off again Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Sat Oct 20, 2012 6:55 pm ---- That's the 1 cartoonhead that wield on the pivot point cost me over 1k
