Application History
Lancia Beta Cars includes Beta
Saloon, Beta Coupe, Beta Zagato Spider, Beta HPE. Manual transmissions
use a shift linkage assembly connecting the interior console shift lever
to the gearbox. This assembly utilizes two large rods and one small
6" long pivot rod. The entire assembly moves together with three
large plastic bushings and two small plastic bushings (at each end of a
6" pivot rod). Each large plastic bushing encloses a steel ball stud,
allowing a range of motion for each gear selection. Over time the
pressed in factory bushings become brittle and crack, allowing the ball
stud to pop out. The original factory plastic bushings are the primary cause of
linkage problems. The steel shift rods are super strong and do not
go bad, it's just the bushings that deteriorate over time. The
Solution that Works! Original factory OEM bushings are molded in place to your shift rods with a cap
on both sides. Our new replacement bushings use a retainer ring circle
clip with a serrated outer cup to hold the bushing in the rod. It's a very
simple yet very effective design. The inside contours of the bushing is
made just like the original and are made of a very high density and self
lubricating polymer material assuring years of trouble free operation. The
part should never ever wear out and installation is made via simple hand tools.
Once a linkage ball
pops out the shift lever is useless and so is your car. The factory bushings are no
longer available unless the entire rod is purchased. New shifting rods are
not only very expensive but discontinued by Fiat. Worst of all the
bushings are extremely
fragile. New old stock
rods are so old that the plastic bushings are often cracked before the part
is even installed.
As always we recommend that you take all safety precautions while performing all repairs.
Before working on your vehicle, consult the services of a professional shop for
installation if necessary. This bushing set when properly installed, restores
factory shift linkage operation to original condition. However, since your
doing the installation, FiatLancia.us cannot be responsible in any way for the
installation and performance of the product. There are over 400 sets
installed in the USA and UK,
all without complaint or failure of any kind. Our first set sold in 2004 and is still going
strong. So order with confidence friends and your car will once again shift like
new! The shifter rail is not included.
