Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

In the process of making mine at the minute, finding very tricky, I made up the linkage from two fairly decent U/J's & extra piece of 1/2" rod, found that although it changes gear okay there is a lot of slop in it due to the movement in the roll pin at the gearbox end. Got two 1/2" rose joints which i'm gonna try and use as supports, will get some pics.

For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

Im finding the biggest problems slop in the last gearbox link and worn bushes in the selector housing and keeping the engine from moving

Yes i moved to the darkside

Haha hears a quick pic of what i'm gonna try, think i've seen a couple of migs with at least the top rose joint support like it, excuse the precision cad drawing now...



Both the rose joints will have to be solid, top one easy as it'll bolt firmly to the housing, but bottom one i'll have to find a way of beefing up where it joins the back of the gearbox.

Thanks for the drawing !

Rusty by nature

thanks very much for thew info
really want to do this in the clubby!

I have redone mine today as there was a slight bit of play in the in the linkage.

My old man made me a bush up for the front that I then knocked in with some retainer.



This has taken all the slop out so hoping for a more positive shift.

I have also used a bush on the gearbox end so it's a snug fit. This made a big improvement when I fitted it last year :)





Hope this helps I really link my linkage makes the car really nice to drive.

I haven't got round to making the linkage up yet but I made my own internal mount a few weeks ago.

iv got a pair of the ujs from the group buy for sale if wanted

yes! ill take them

I did exactly the same as Starmag and it worked a treat to take out all of the slop in the selector.

there are two bronze bushes in those housings anyway

Matty I think it was yours I got the idea from

There is bronze bushes but they were fooked. It was cheaper to get the old fella to make me a bush :)
