Spent the day with Mark today... he has replaced all the gear linkages and bushes... plus did a thoroughly awesome job welding a mk3 shift weight into position.

Sloppy gear changes are a thing of the past... thank you Mark :afro:

This car is becoming VERY enjoyable to drive  :evil:

its was more like hope that the gear was in there somewhere... one bush was completely FUBAR... another was completely missing!  :laugh:

I think that missing bush could have had something to do with the slop  :laugh: :laugh:
