205 Bronze Gearstick Pivot Bushes Gti and Non Gti
Code: GLP205 3
Fitment: Suitable for the 205 Gti and Non Gti.
These bronze bushes replace the standard plastic ones found in the gearstick pivot point. These will not flex or distort and therefore reduce play in the linkage system.
Notes: Ideally to be used with our 205 Gearchange Rods (3-rod kit) and 205 Bronze L-linkage Pivot Bush Kit, as well as Adjustable Quickshift.
EMB205-4 – 205 Grp.N Lower Engine Bush – a part of our complete Group N (Grp.N) Engine Mounting Kit has been designed to substantially reduce engine movement by incorporating up-rated and stiffened rubber components. The kit is ideally used for rallying, racing, enhanced engine conversions and modifications.
Available for: 205 1.6/1.9 GTI, 205 XS (please select when adding products to cart)
The original linkage setup consists of two plastic bushes and a spring washer, even when new this setup had a lot of unwanted play in it. The linkage will now more than likely be considerably worn, causing the linkage system to feel “sloppy”. There are other kits available which replace the plastic bushes with bronze equivalents but the spring washer design is still utilized, along with the original large shanked bolt.
Only by changing the design of the pivot system (by using this kit) can the sloop be reduced entirely.
Shims are placed behind buffers to space them closer to the top engine mount.
Fitting the correct combination of shims means, as the engine moves under acceleration / engine braking the top mount can come into contact with the buffers sooner and reduce any excess movement.
These can be used with OE std buffers or either of our Fast Road or GrpN Style replacements.
Joints in the original gearchange rod setup contain plastic bushes that wear over time, making the gearchange very unprecise and leading to rods popping off and leaving you stranded on a side of the road or track. Our rods are steel-jointed with securing clips that cures both issues.
