Gear linkage issues
Posted: 08 Oct 2007, 16:02
Was comin home from the matchmaking festival yesterday when i lost 1st and 2nd gears 
Nursed the van home and rolled under it. The problem seems to be at the gearbox end where the nylon ball engages into a cup thingy 
You can see the wear in it, and when i padded it out a bit it seemed to work ok. Are these still available new? or does some1 have a good 2nd hand 1? need to get it sorted as round here is full of big hills and the 1.6 non turbo struggles at the best of time.

The ball is fine its actually the cup that has the wear in it. I did have another cup but its off a petrol box and it is about 10mm shorter than the desiel 1. If urs is a desiel 1 i will take it. Send me ya details and i will get sum cash sent to ya.
