5 GT Turbo Gear selector Rebuild kit

[Cainy_03]

I wanted to see if I could rebuild the gear selector in my R5 GTT ph2, I ordered one of the eBay kits for it, only cheap thing to see what they are like, but on stripping the gear selector the ball which sits in the selector housing is different as it allows the reverse cable to pass through where as the kit I purchased does not have a cut out for this.

I’m wondering has anyone done this rebuild previously and can help me out a little? The gear stick is just really baggy and I was hoping to at least tighten things up a little

Thanks

Ryan

Hi Ryan,
Can you link us to the kit you used and point out what's needed or different?

Cheers for the reply Clarky!

I’ll get some pictures uploaded Friday when I get home of the kit and the gear selector, does anybody also know if the mk1 Clio gear selector is the same or very similar to the one used on the ph2 gtt?

Pictures of the kit and the gear selector from the car, the kit doesn’t have the notch for the reverse selector cable to pass through

Hmmm, where did you buy it from? It's a minefield out there unless you purchase directly from people familiar with our cars

Sorry for delay in reply been busy trying to make my garage inhabitable for the 5 in my spare time so I purchased the kit for an eBay seller, I have contacted the seller as I noticed they sell a kit for Peugeot/Citreon cars that looks like the original on on the 5.

The seller is: Schakal16v, I don’t know if they are known on the forum or not link to the listing below, thanks

Pardon our interruption...
