B&M set up

[j16jrf 0]

I have fitted a B&M quick shift and it is very hard to get into 2nd and 4th.

 

I have searched and know people think these are awful but is there anyway to set them up properly so u can select gears without having to force it in?

 

 

Thanks

We gave up selling them for the Corrado, it is impossible to make them work.

Had one of these on my G60 and just found it too much of an arse-pain to use on a daily basis.. I had the alignment adjusted by Stealth about 3 times in the year I owned it, plus had the gearbox oil changed as well just to rule that out.. it was always a git, and was always stubborn unless you were incredibly slow with the gear changes.

from what I understand a home made version is pretty easy to fabricate(small bit of welding) and you can choose the pivot point, i.e. don't make it quite as short as the B&M but shorter than the factory one, there's plenty of breaking passats to get the bits from to bastardise.

Or if you don't trust yourself to hack gearshifts up, Dieselgeek's one is essentially the same thing, works great ime, and also has the option of a side-to-side reducer as well:

It's also worth trying a different gear knob, the standard corrado one is quite tall so it extends the throw, i fitted a seat leon gear knob which is pretty much hollow all the way to the top so it sits a couple of inches lower, but still looks OEM, you could probably also cut a bit off the top of the shifter to shorten it even more.

gr8 so pretty much rip it out and put the standard one back in lol.

 

i am so disappointed in this, B&M are supposed to be good at this sort of thing too. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :(

 

and i think i threw the standard one out too :( lol anyone help me with a standard one they may have lying about?
