Hi, my gearstick is pretty slack and has quite a bit of movement in it. Is there anyway of making it crisper by replacing the bushes in the linkage????

 

i think theres a spring involved somewhere, perhaps have a look and see if it needs replaced, i had this on my old scoob but sold it before i got round to fixing it

 

I have the same problem was told that replacing the bushes in the linkage would cure it,,,its really slack even when in gear... Anyone?

 

theres is a little spring on linkage between tunnel and box (under gearstick)

......think it has to be done from underneath the car..... a little fiddly

 

Thanks i'll put the car on the ramp and take a look.

 

i have the same probs, very sloppy l-r.

Where is this 'spring' located?

 

Get under the car, at the base of the stem is a large bush and a spring to self centre it, if its sloppy its not the spring (that effects the return to the 3/4 plane only), but probably the bush, I'm using a US sourced Kartboy bush and its sharpened the shift feel up no end, you can also replce the bush mounting the shifter to the body (behind it in the tunnel) to firm it up even more.

Ok i have no spring!

Wheres the best place to get one? Anyone know the part no.?

Cheers

 

A dealer mate cost **** all,had to replace the one on my old classic.
