when was the gear oil last changed, if you don't know then do it, see how bad the magnet is, then worry about the linkage if magnet's nice and cean

'The magnet' is part of the gearbox drain plug on the lower rear face of the box, this collects all those missed gear filings and parts of bearings. Before undoing this (with a 17mm hexagon 'Allen' key or hex drive socket) you'll need to undo the fill plug on the offside of the box.

I'm actually removing my gearbox complete shortly to replace clutch and side seals where axles bolt on and fill with fresh oil. Will photograph the job extensively and bung it in the WIKI - may help some.
