What engine ?

On 1.9d they were nylon and wore . I chopped mine out when i did the clutch - interestingly the replacements from pug ( went to pug for main shaft seal , linkage and clutch cable) were alloy and a much more solid fit.

They just pop on and off balls.

Was well worth doing and iirc less than 20quid for the pair.

Hi there if you have a look at this link you can see the parts that make up the linkage http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Citroe...2a4f95ad94
And these are the parts that usually wear out and need replacing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-BERLIN...1e8a388b75
Its quite an easy job to do just need to get the car up on ramps for good access.
If you have a look first you will see the slop in the ball and socket joints that is probably giving you the vague gear change and know which parts you need.
Are we there yet????? Huh

I replaced the long one on my nieces' Partner 2.0hdi. The old one was a bit of a pain to remove but it came off with a bit of brute force and ignorance. The new one just sat in place then pulled down and clicked on easily.
So where does this bit go then ?

Hiya, I have replaced the three rods, BE4R gearbox, but the one to look out for is the larger Ball on the bracket and the bracket wobbles on the spindle. I'm not sure if the bushes can be changed so be prepared to replace the bracket complete. Also the rod that goes back from the gear selector to the bottom of the gearstick is connected to the gearstick with a bolt, this needed to be checked / tightened or replaced. I have put some washers in mine to take up some slack..

I tried to change mine at the weekend and had a nightmare - easy enough to get them off and access wasn't too bad, 1.6HDi - I could do it from the top of the engine bay with the air intake and filter box removed. It was the linkages I bought which were the problem, they didn't pop on like the originals - I needed to remove a pin on each end (needle thickness) and re-insert at arms length with grease on my fingers, by touch alone  - impossible. Managed one with a lot of cursing.


So, a bit of advice........avoid these....waste of money

are the TOPRAN branded ones ok? It seems that the suggestion is the pack of three linkages but also the arm too with the enormous ball on. I've only looked at mine in dark, but the ball was loose! So not sure is that is a result of something else failing, or not...
