James,
It's page 54 of the April/May 2004 issue so it's been out for a while now. If you didn't get yours give the office a call. |

James,
Have a look at this - gear-knob link It's slightly off subject, but it does show you the bits needed to stop the wobble. and whilst you're about it, you could swap the gear-lever as well. It's not hard - you just need to be able to get underneath. All the parts are available from the dealer - and you won't want a 2nd mortgage for them either! I've done it - so that proves it can't be hard! |

I think it must be the gear selection rod bush, and it looks a pain to replace.... |

Hi all, I have small problem with my gear stick. When the power is down it is fine, but if I lift off the gear stick wobbles around when in gear. The same thing happens if im going along at a constant speed. I can also move the gear stick around quite a lot when in gear. This sounds like a gear linkage bush problem to me, but anyone got any idea which one, and is it a simple fix ? Cheers James Edited by jamesrose |
