Default Quickshift/link-arm

Hey peeps,

Was driving back from a RR day and was changing from 4th-5th when my quickshift popped out........I assumed the worse but after a little roadside maintenance, I was able to pop it back in......

Now, when I say poped out I mean the ball joint at the bottom of the gear lever had popped out if it's socket and i've managed to click it back into place.....however I think my link-arm needs to be adjusted so it doesn't happen again......

Any ideas how i'd go about doing this?

It's a 2001 bug-eye and the gearbox isn't shagged....yet

Check that the 'c' clip at the bottom of the ball joint hasn't come off - get underneath the car and check at the base of the ball joint. If thats still there then I guess your cup / ball joint is worn, cost about £12.00 for a new set

Good luck
