Acting on this information I discovered that the gear guides under the gear stick in the box thingy are well worn (only half there on one) and all the bushes are really worn also and e...

I used to do this for a living and I would say that a little heat (hairdrier) or if your really brave a heat gun ( not recomended if you havn't done this before) is best for removing old vinyl. if any of the glue is left then lighter fluid (lighter petrol) is the best for removing this. good luck :D
