Citroen C1 Short Shifter Installation & Test / CityBug/Aygo/107 Quick Shifter Fitted

Fitted a £35 short shift modification to the C1 and tested it in an ultra scientific way compared to standard.
Same part fits Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107/108 1.0 litre (1KR)
This is the item I fitted:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4042568469...
but sometimes shows as out of stock but search for Aygo/C1/107 short shifter on eBay and it should come up in search results
Can also be bought here:

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I'm liking it so far, I got one in white so I've called it the Zanussi as it looks like a kitchen appliance. Took it on its first proper spin cycle on the M25 today 🤣 Looking forward to trying out the wobbly gearstick fix you kindly posted a while back, might get the short-shifter mod as well 👍👍👍

3.05 So, what if you, instead of installing the short shifter, had released the original shifter and fastened it with a screw and nut in the middle hole or the second hole if the pin got in the way?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Maybe, but for £35 the shifter works well tbh

[@jxmes6476]

Hi mate, what should I do if I've lost the pin for the gear selector?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

The securing clip? Just get a new one, or failing that an R clip to fit, or even a split pin will secure it

[@arnietwo11]

Bueno, what cars does that kit fit on ?? Was that specific for the shitrron ?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

It will fit on all of the manual 1.0 from what I can tell. The Aygo, 107 and mk1 c1 definitely and I believe it fits all the mk2 1.0 models but best off checking with the seller. It should be easy to check though just make sure the gear selector on the top of the box looks like mine, with the 2 homes for the bolts

[@ELECTROMARINEMANIA]

Im facing hard in shifting is it work for my 2021 aygo?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

If the shifting is hard, this won’t help. It makes the shifting shorter but also makes it a bit harder. If your shifting is hard then your clutch may need adjusting.

[@littleratbag1111]

Just when I think you couldn’t possibly make the “shitter” even better and more AWSUM! In my best American accent, you just manage to improve and keep the dream alive that we could all one day possibly own a shitroen C1. Obviously not up to your highly improved specs tho sir Tim!!! Keep up the good work sir 😂😂

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Not without taking it back off, tbh they’re only £35 it’s probably not worth the hassle of making one.

[@matt91eoo]

Brilliant video! Is shifting any harder? Do you think it could wear faster gear links or something? I’m probably willing to give this mod to my racing groceries nugget too

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Thanks mate. It’s slightly stiffer but not to any detriment. It feels way way more positive. It will be pulling on the cables slightly harder but I doubt it will be by enough to cause any negative effects though. I’m actually really impressed with it.

[@matt91eoo]

I wonder why they didn’t make it like this straight out of the factory already 😠, now I want this mod ehehe 😁

[@basba_qal]

Good job, m8 But I'm wondering what that puck/disk round metal thingy on the quick shifter is for The manufacturer could have avoided putting it, right? Eager to know, thanks.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Thanks mate. It’s some king of weight/counter balance.

[@basba_qal]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos Sorry, as an engineer, I don't think it serves any balanced weight ratio when the plate itself is fastened down tightly with two screws to the main plate. One could easily avoid using by moving the hook up to one of the other holes and fasten it with a long screw and bolt. I'll try it and let you know. I honestly don't think c1 or aygo are designed by Space X engineers 🤣🤣🤣

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@basba_qal 😂 fair enough. Actually looking at it, it’s probably more to give it a bit more inertia and give a better feel as it goes into gear. It’s attached to a part of the gearbox that moves.

[@Utopian_Turtletop-vn1iu]

You've described a BMW driver.

[@davegalloway7531]

Still having bloody problems with the Lumpy tick-over. Stays at 850-900 RPM, no erratic idling, just lumpy as hell. Swapped out the throttle body and still doing it! Swapped over the idle control valve, still doing it. I think It's been invaded by the Lumpy tickover virus.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Is this something that has started all of a sudden? I mean, these shitters are pretty lumpy as standard on tickover. Mine feels really lumpy since I sikoflex’d the gearbox mount, so maybe one of your engine mounts is shagged and exaggerating the vibration?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Also if it’s worse when hot, it could be worth checking the valve clearances as they are shimmed on these. Tight valves could cause lumpy idle, and worse when hot however I’ve never heard of them going out of spec personally

[@MJ-85]

Would I be right in assuming this would be the same fit on the MK2 Aygo mate? I'm tempted tbh 😂

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

If it’s the 1.0 then I think so yea. Not the 1.2 though
