I purchased my 504 last weekend and drove it home 300 miles without a problem. Since then I had a short shift linkage fall off and was able to drive home in 4th gear. Last night the large 12" linkage fell off no gears. Pushed the car into a parking lot myself and my wife Brought be my large floor Jack ( it weighs more than her). I was able to put in on and shift only into second (as it will fall off again ). And drove about a mile home in second. I have owned a Citroen CX, Peugeot 505, 2 Alfa Romeo and never broke down before. Still love the car but getting tired of redicolous break downs.
i thought these 504 were built like tanks?
