PEUGEOT 106 CITROEN SAXO GEAR LINKAGE LINK PUSH RODS REPAIR FIX KIT GTI RALLY PART NUMBER: X8R0055
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Our repair kit in this listing addresses the common failure of the Peugeot 106 and Citroen Saxo Gear Linkage Push Rods. Our components described herein with the assistance of our supportive instruction media will allow you to replace just the faulty components which always fail within the gear linkage mechanism without having to replace them with OEM rods again leaving you exposed to the same fault in the future. An extremely common fault corrected by our repair kit.
SYMPTOMS OF FAULT
If the rods have popped off you will have lost some gears. If the rods are worn (not yet popped off) you will experience symptoms such as; a rough feel when changing gears, audible clunking or clicking sounds when changing gear, difficult gear changes or refusal to return to neutral. The Nylon in the rods deteriorates over time so the effects can go unnoticed due to fade of performance over a period rather than being sudden. Renewing the rods with our kit will restore smooth gear function, you may be surprised at the improvement over the OEM parts and how the Nylon deterioration has affected performance over the years.
THE CAUSE
THE POOR QUALITY OEM GEAR LINKAGE RODS DETERIORATE AFFECTING GEAR CHANGES AND IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME POP OFF LEADING TO LOSS OF GEAR SELECTION.
The OEM gear linkage bearing ends are made from a poor quality plastic; interacting with a metal ball joint, with no lubrication, wear of this material is inevitable. This causes the linkages to pop off in the fullness of time leading to loss of gear selection or in the short term deterioration of the Nylon inserts in the rod ends cause the common symptoms of a floppy gear stick and poor gear selection. This is a very common problem with these vehicles. The OEM part has no retaining function, no lubrication, poor rigidity and little angular movement. Our repair parts rectify these faults to provide a full term solution.
THE SOLUTION
FIT OUR IMPROVED DESIGN GEAR LINKAGE RODS AND RESTORE SMOOTH GEAR SELECTION PERMANENTLY.
Our improved design gear linkage rods will cure the symptoms noted above and restore smooth gear selection. Our rods are very easy to fit, please check out our video and pictorial instructions.
Our rod ends are metal rather than plastic firming up the ball link and eliminating unwanted movement which causes poor gear changes. Our rod ends will not wear and feature a built in grease retaining rubber seal so as to keep the ball joint well lubricated, a feature unfortunately the OEM item lacks. Because the rod ends flex less than the OEM Nylon design gear changes will be crisper and sharper. This item fits perfect to all the vehicles listed and can be adjusted by 15mm to allow for vehicle tolerances easy shifting and easy fitting. The rod end ball joints feature an internal circlip and a pin lock external clip ensuring the rods will not pop off, designed to last the life of the vehicle. All components of our rods are zinc plated to prevent corrosion. Save the high cost of replacement linkage rods from your vehicle manufacturer that will just fail again, our linkage rods are engineered to last the lifetime of the vehicle.
