You need to replace the cup that the gearshaft sits in, will make it sit higher.

Yeah, look at gear linkage post in maintenance section for explanation of how to replace.

Ok, i already have this ball, Got it a few years ago, But not got around 2 doin it cause thought it was a big job,
So if i order that other clip part and maybe a new gearstick cause they not 2 dear either i should be sorted,,

Mine does this but I'm used to it so it never bothers me, just be gentle with the old girl

The ball and cup come together. Ball needs to be put in a vice and somehow removed which I didn't bother with on mine because the housing had a hole through it so I just changed that. It's 4 bolts underneath and there's holes in the exhaust heat shield to get a socket through.
