  • so unfortunately my coolerworx shifter broke on a recent trackday. coolerworx quickly sent me the replacement parts that are an updated design for the fiesta st. This video serves not as a bashing of coolerworx but i filmed it so that if you experience the same you will know how to repair yours.

    I like the way you adjusted the mech so that the balljoint was'nt under pressure.As already mentioned,I hope the replacement parts were free!!!

    I think that will break again. There is a large force on that ball joint, especially in the heat of a race and aggressive gear changes.

    I always come away having watched your videos Steve feeling educated. I've contacted a few of these gear lever/linkage companies and naturally none make one for my old car, but I'm toying with the idea of "adapting" one to fit my car. So this video was helpful, cheers.

    I feel special you removed it just for us. Very informative and when my coolerworx breaks, now i know how to fix it hahaha
    How does it feel driving now with the redesigned boomerang? For the part that broke, that really should be one solid part, not a ball end that screws into an extension. Be nice to get a stronger one made.

    Putting coolerworx to shame with some zip ties 👌👌 Also could you put a none armrest console from a poverty spec fez in to get round the shift issue?

      Nothing. Can only assume its dust particles catching some light in the camera

    Shocking quality for what they cost. Clearly not been designed right and/or cheaply (Chinese?) made.

    • @Triicks111
      @Triicks111 4 года назад

      Have to agree with this, this is straight up cheap materials being used. Those ball linkages should never snap. I would send it back and ask for a refund, i mean he hasn't had it long at all either.
