Ok in the picture below it is the item labeled relay lever.



It has a load of slack in it, advice?

Take it off and see if any of those bushes on the dash tray fit  :smiley:

Yeah I think that's the plan. Got loads of bits this morning including some paint for the steels and the rivets for the arch kit. Got a busy day today!

Right I found 1 bush that fitted although it needs 2 so I used the better of the old ones. It took up the slack nicely and after a good long test drive 1 st is now selecting perfectly. 5th however is still a pig but I guess this is now just a case of shifting the linkage by a degree or two to sort this out. I'll give that a whirl this afternoon and see how it goes.

AAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! It's driving me mad!

I sort it so 1st is fine and 5th is pain, then I sort it so 5th is fine and 1st is a pain! There's got to be a sweet spot in the middle but for today I have had enough. I'll try again tomorrow.
