honda gear shift

The Oily Bits Engine Swaps

No it is not sprung at the lever end. It just uses the standard self-centering springs in the box. I can only assume other conversions’ linkages/cables are too tight/stiff if they don’t self-centre. As far as I know, all Link-Up conversions self-centre. Does your’s Jamie?

And its not a new improved linkage. The video above was of one of the first Link-Up cars converted and the linkage design has never changed.

I did drive a car converted by another converter that required 2 hands to get into reverse. That was interesting.

Mine is very good, think Dan’s car is slightly weaker but still good.

I have also driven another Co’s demonstrator and i could not get it into reverse was told there is a technique for it - not impressed

Yeah I was just thinking the other day that I’m not particularly happy with mine but it seems to be a bit sloppy at the lever end. I have a spare gear lever assembly so I think I’ll swap it and see if its any better.

I think I’ll adjust the ratio on the linkage to make the shift a bit quicker, something I did on your’s Jamie and it did feel better.

There’s quite a lot of adjustment on the Link-Up linkage.
