Title: gear linkage connections (gearbox end)
Post by: jamie16v on 15 May 2013, 21:48

anybody know how to remove the little rose joints from the gear shift assembly?. and i don`t mean remove from the cables by twisting and pulling the little plastic foreskin clips back on the springs...  :smiley:
also if anyone has one off the car, could you measure the ball joint for me please.  :wink:

Yank it off. You can use a small spanner as a lever if you need help easing it off.
