Sloppy Gearbox
« on: 01 June 2009, 20:34 »
Hi
Could anyone tell me if there is a kit on any kind that you can get to rebuild your gear linkage to improve it?  Mine is a little bit like holding a big spoon in a bucket of treacle  :laugh:

I have a 88 F Reg 16v

Cheers

G :smiley:

A word of warning though, when you buy the kit in the above thread, make sure you buy the linkage rod in the far right of the 4th picture down, because you WILL break the plastic ends taking it off.  :grin:
I did the same thing today and had to go back to GSF to buy it. Good news is you'll get change from a fiver.

Hmmm should really do this sometime, some of mine is bodged with various bits of garden hose at the moment. To be fair it is an improvement over what it was like before.
