R26 Anyone still making short shifters?

Engine dynamics?

 

Mine made a huge difference. Felt like it wasn’t going in gear enough at first.

 

The billet ones do work but only on a phase 1, as they only have 1 spring counteracting the motion instead of 2.

I do shortshifters but being in the NL the postage will nearly double the price sadly

 

I was in the same situation as you so I did my own last week but I took it to a local engineering company who charged me £72 to do the milling work. I bought a new ball and stud and drilled/tapped it myself.
Makes a massive difference - like everyone says. Really good mod!

I might be interested in doing it for people on an exchange basis, if there was enough interest but would need to source a spare and see if I could negotiate a disount on the milling work

 

I'd be interested too and similar to OP could do with understanding what is involved in removing the existing mechanism and then subsequent replacement

 

I can do this. And it would be £80 exchange. If anyone is interested. Please let me know and I'll get a spare one I have ready.

If anyone is interested I do have a spare R26 selector unit I removed from my car after I fitted K-Tec's modified version.

I don't know what it's worth, but it's just sat in my garage doing nothing!

I could be interested in this service next month

 

How are you fixing the nylon bush, I have the same problem now after the cars been sat a while!

take it apart..put a slightly larger drill bit through the nylon bush,put it back together..done.

 

How difficult is it to take it out of the car and put back? R26

its not to bad,but you must follow the guide thats on here somewhere.
if you are a total novice with the spanners,get someone with moderate mechanical knowledge to help.
there are a couple of things that can catch people out.

 

Mechanically I'm reasonably confident. If it looks too long winded I'll pay someone to do it.
I'll have a search for the guide tomorrow when I'm in front of the PC. Unless someone can post a link [emoji6]

Here's some photos of my old and modified shifter.

In the photo of them beside each other you can see where they have machined and drilled a new hole for the ball stud.

(mine was missing and had to be sent separately [emoji23])

It really is a cracking mod though, and transforms the gear selection!

If I can get one on an exchange basis WITHOUT having to send mine first i'd be having one.

Any takers?

normally you send it after you have fitted the modified unit.
thats what we did,all the time we did them.
We used to ask for a £50 refundable deposit,which was payed back when the exchange was posted back to us.

 

How much would you take ?

 

Split the cost of the one RMDavis has with me then we can use it to get one, you fit it to yours send in your old one I get the one swapped for that one?

 

Really don't know what it's worth mate, but how does £60 posted sound?

for reference...£130-ish from renault for complete unit.

sounds good, I've paid for it and will try and get it sent direct to goodwood automotive

Anyone else interested ?

 

Great job! Let me know re payment etc

Are you guys interested in splitting the cost of the replacement one now sourced from RMDavis and currently has grantw and myself splitting the cost?
Just thinking we could ship around our old ones and use this one to start the ball rolling so it would work out cheaper and mean your car isnt off the road while you wait for the replacement?
Also, asked Goodwood if there is any multi-buy discount if we got a few takers :-)
let me know ?

 

Morning folks. I have one in prep at the moment that is first dibs for james. And this will be an exchange unit. So as soon as I’ve received his old one back, I can have that ready too. Before taking any more requests. I’d like to get The first one to the buyer. And let them confirm everything is as it should be.

ok, sounds good. Let us know how yours works out then will put my order in .. as will grantw I'm sure. I'll get the spare sent in as soon as I hear all is well :-)

 

Good team effort guys, thanks to everyone. [emoji106]

@Goodwood automotive any update on this? I'm still keen on getting a modified one.

 

^^ same here

 

Hi - is this still something you would consider as I have a spare now as per the above thread?

 

yeah I had a conversation going on direct with him/Goodwood and then it went quiet but can wait I guess and in the interim maybe markoc will respond
