Title: gear troubles
Post by: serafumi on 05 January 2009, 14:18

Happy new year all. right this is how it goes .... i have an 8 v digi. i swapped the engine for a not so tired 8v digi over the christmas break.... all went well . no i seem to be having some difficulties selecting 2nd and third... i had this prob before so i renewed the linkage bushes under the bonnet and fitted an uprated relay ball which seemed to fix prob... i have re aligned gears again since engine was changed !!! my question is .. there seems to be alot of side to side play on gear stick, so could my ball and cup be fuc!ed?
could this be causing my probs?
sorry for such a long post lol
cheers chaps

Sounds like the cup and ball to me.
