Description
Overview
High-quality shift linkage rods designed for Citroën C4, specifically the 1.6 16V NFU engine. These linkage rods transfer the gear lever movement to the transmission with accuracy and minimal play, restoring crisp, reliable gear changes. The part is aimed at professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who frequently search by OEM part numbers when sourcing replacements.
Compatibility
Direct fit for Citroën C4 models equipped with the 1.6 16V NFU engine. Some models within the PSA platform may share compatible linkages; always verify compatibility against your vehicle VIN or OEM part number before purchase.
Function And Benefits
The shift linkage rod connects the gear selector to the gearbox input lever, ensuring precise transmission selection. Benefits include reduced gear engagement noise, improved shift feel, and elimination of excessive free play. Constructed from durable steel with a corrosion-resistant coating and robust rod ends for longer service life.
Replacement Guide
Replacement is straightforward for experienced mechanics: raise and secure the vehicle, remove any underbody protection if needed, access the linkage either from the gearbox side or under the center console, unclip and unbolt the worn rod ends, fit the new rod and secure with original clips/bolts, adjust linkage to remove free play, and verify gear selection in all positions. If unsure, consult a workshop manual for torque values and adjustment procedure.
Common Failure Causes
Typical failure modes include wear of ball joints or rod ends, corrosion, bent rods from impact, or damaged protective boots allowing dirt ingress. There is no fixed service interval; inspect the linkage during routine gearbox or clutch work or if shifting becomes vague or noisy. Replacing worn rods restores shift precision and prevents accelerated gearbox wear.
