SADEV Right Half-Ball Joint Quickshift Linkage – Clio 2 Gr N (F0073024)

If the Right Half-Ball Joint Fails, Imprecision is Guaranteed During Gear Changes

In a competition environment, even a microsecond of hesitation during gear shifting can cost the victory. The right linkage half-ball joint (P/N: F0073024) is the exact complement to the left part, forming the zero-play pivot point for the shift linkage rod on your Renault Clio 2 Gr N (ST66 SADEV gearbox). If this half-shell is deformed or worn, the play introduced into the ball joint propagates throughout the system, turning your precise Quickshift into an approximate lever.

The Consequences of a Failing Right Half-Shell

• Quickshift Degradation: The purpose of the SADEV Quickshift is to offer an ultra-short throw. If the pivot ball joint is loose because of this right half-shell, the effective lever throw becomes imprecise and longer than normal.
• Risk of Component Ejection: Wear on the ball joint assembly weakens the retention of the retaining pins and the circlip. Under high stress, this can lead to the shift linkage rod detaching from the casing.
• Degraded Driving Feel: Motorsport enthusiasts know that a firm and precise gear control is vital. The lack of rigidity caused by a worn part makes you lose the feeling of control over the transmission.

Maintenance Questions for Perfect Gear Control

Is it mandatory to replace both half-ball joints?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace the right half-ball joint (F0073024) and the left half-ball joint (F0073023) simultaneously. Wear is generally similar on both parts. Don't forget to inspect the condition of the retaining pins and the circlip locking the ball joint. These complementary products are available at the bottom of this product page.

Is this half-shell suitable for my shortened Quickshift?

Absolutely. This SADEV half-shell conforms to the specifications of the genuine SADEV quickshift rod, whether you have the original version or the short version, both mounted on the ST66 gearbox.
