Gearbox Paddle Problem

danp · 07-06-2010, 09:55 PM

In my wisdom decided to put on some nice CF paddles.

Can now change up a gear but not down

(unless I use the stick)

Paddle doesn't spring back (yes the spring is in place ;-), and there is no click.

Turned the wheel, stuck head in footwell and legs out the drivers window but can't see any obvious issue (with the paddle removed). Hole for the spring, little slot for the "lug" .. not a lot there that I could see to go wrong,

Put the old OEM paddle back on and that has the same problem.

Could take the working (up / RHS / +) paddle off I guess and see if I can spot any difference, but not done this yet.

Any ideas chaps?!

Did see this thread which sounds similar..

PS LHS (down / -) paddle that I was sent had the wrong pin/lug on the back - so wouldn't fit ... once I realised this they sent the correct lug ... (bolts onto the CF paddle with 3 allen bolts) ... now goes on but issue as above. I was careful 1st time round so suprised if I damaged anything, but always possible.
