Fitting QUAIFE Quickshift 4 speed

Has anyone had any trouble installing a Quaife to a Escort 4 Speed?

I just bought one after the orignal item lower plastic ball disinterated.

I can screw it into the hold and it screws in tight. But the gear leaver is all sloppy and does not seat correctly on the selector rod. When you push it down 1 cm you can change gears but does not stay there just springs back up into air selection again.

Any idea. Yes selector is the right way around with the notch to slot in.

Thanks

The plastic Saddle is there but not complete like the Burtons one. The side bit is knocked off it.

When I measure them togeter it almost looks like the Quaife shaft is about 1cm to short to go into the selector housing.

I have never had a problem before either.

There is a 60mm gap between the top of the selector shaft to the top where the screws stops screwing.

Can someone tell me if this looks correct. It is almost like the selctor shaft is upside down?





Measurement at 60mm


Measurement of the quick shift only 50mm of length inside the extension housing

Thanks Gdub.

Is that the top colar that needs a 48mm + spanner on it?

I never even saw that before. Have to go and but a shifting rench big enough for that tomorrow. Most I have is 30mm.

Many thanks. Will let you know how I go.

yeah the 5 speed is no different....real rattley!!

yeah dont know if the police would like the current speed for it to settle nicely [:x)]

when i get around to changing my diff it should sit at a nice rpm and not rattle when cruising around!
