Which Quickshift ?

[72mk1escort]

After getting a quickshift kit for my mk1 escort 1600 xflow with a type 2 4 speed box in it.

 

Can anyone tell me the difference of the quickshift kits and which one is best for the road and ive heard some of the make noise what does this mean?

 

Any help would be really appreciated

 

Cheers Guys

kit = converts your original lever. cheap easy method but Ive heard they can come undone.

 

proper lever= replaces original lever. rose jointed so rattles at speed.

 

Ive had my rose jointed quickshift on for a couple of years now and yes they do rattle. Pack it full of grease before you fit it and itll quieten it down...but lets face it. Ashley exhaust, tuned engine, old car.....you arent really gonna hear much anyway so a rattly gear lever wont make much difference!

 

plus the feel of a proper rose jointed lever is lush

What was the conclusion on to where to get the "Quiet" rose jointed quick shift lever?

 

I want to order one now

V8IAN has said it many a time, drill a hole in the side of the quickshift fit a grease nipple and pump it full of grease....hey presto a quiet rose jointed quickshift

I have only the kit fitted which is shit! I need to change the whole lot for the rose jointed one.

I have a rose-jointed and I love it....

 

...although havent actually driven anywhere with it yet

Yes but where did you get it from so i can get one from same place?

 

I dont want to waste my time buying ones that are not as good.

I fit a quaife rosejointed quickshift in my viva because the standard one was hitting the handbrake after the pinto conversion. They do rattle but I'd be going flat out by the time it starts to vibrate and i put it on free to wait for it to die out (not that i will be doing 200mph, the gear ratios are really low). its a kind of top speed warning sensor to me lol

I finally got it

that's a type 9!

But ...................................... Where did you get it from ?

[samurai]

I just fitted it

 

Gear chage is amazing now compared to the shift lever i had before which was crap!

Nice one, if you had read my for sale advert a little quicker you could have had the same thing for nearly half the price

 

And yes they rattle like fook, even after being packed with grease. It still did my head in over the sound of a straight cut box!!! Best bet on a long journey is to wedge a 2 litre bottle of pop in between the seat and the lever

My mex is so loud anyway with the WCXM vibrating everything, twin 45's, 2.5 inch exhaust, no carpets or any trim, i think the lever will be the quietest part on the car
