I mentioned to a couple of people the other day about my gearstick feeling sloppy and generally un smooth.It was suggested that I check on my linkages to see if the spring is alright. Now I checked underneath today but I can't find a spring anywhere. Is this what is causing my probs. Does anybody know exactly where the spring should be? and from these pics can you tell if it is missing.






I know it's hard to tell from pics, I might just have to take it to someone who knows what there looking for.

 

spring goes onto the plate held on by the nut on the top ish right hand side

 

cheers, so it looks like it's definately missing. Do u think this is something that can fall off, or just not replaced after i had my clutch replaced about 1 month ago.

 

i have the same problem on mine at the moment my spring popped out last week and gerrs 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th are sloppy but 5th and reverse are ok

but getting mine sorted monday hopefully should just cost a few pennies

 

adam you sure know your scoobies dont you

 

I hope so

 

Now I was hapy with the replies I had and was vertialy on my way out to get a new spring until
A lad I know who knows a fair bit about scoobs saw the pics and said he didn't think there should be a spring there but wasn't 100%.
Can somebody please clarify for me. From these pics is there a spring missing?

 

110% there should be a spring there.

I've done a few

 

Chears 500, I'll get down subaru tomorrow and see if they can sort me one.
