a good friend of mine got hes clutch done,,,, now when hes got it back the gear linkage is all sloppy as ****, ive checked it ( great way to spend new years eve in my going out clothes under a car trying to remove gear linkage !) and theres LOADS of play in the U/J's where the bolts go though,,,, anyone else have this issue or know of a way to solve it apart from a new linkage obv

Please help me

i bet they undid bolt on uj part to disconnect linkage and the two little bushes fell out and they didnt notice.

spot bollock on mate.. also the other end where the gearstick had general "worn" play but has been sorted with PTFE tape too,,, now feels better than before !
