Bits will be there ready for me to collect on friday morning. I'll see if I can put it all together on Friday and let you know if it's sorted the problem

I have had problems with gear selection recently.

My mechanic greased / adjusted the linkage and also replaced the rear gearbox mount (£35 labour / ~ £18 for mount from GSF).

The gear change is better than ever.  :smiley:

Tried changing all the bushes on the linkage itself, a bit better but not satisfactoy. My gearbox mount is completely shot by the looks of it. All the goo from inside the mount has leaked out. Got a front engine and a gearbox mount from GSF to go on, should make the world of difference!

Found this in on a 'sticky'. I tried it on my car over the weekend and it seems to have done the trick. I was having problems finding third sometimes, and also stiff going into fifth.
