Hi people,
Need a bit of advice, yesterday changing from 2nd to third the gear stick popped out off the selector, its a white plastic bit which seems to be worn out at the base of the gear stick. Does anyone know what this bit is called and where to get one?
Cheers guys

Gearstick Pivot ball? IIRC it is only a push fit anyway, difficult to see how it can be worn as movement is very modest.

 

Yea that sounds like it, i pushed it back in but as soon as i tried to select 1st 3rd or 5th it came out off positon again. Maybe theres other parts i need as well. Annoying.
Cheers for the reply mate.

Depending on what MY your impreza is, this will give you some idea..........

Nice one Don cheers mate very helpfull.

 

Has the ball on the bottom of the stick pulled out of the socket Clarky, or has the entire socket pulled out of the gear linkage?

If the ball's popped out of the socket, the socket's worn and needs replacement.

If the entire socket has pulled out of the linkage, the circlip that should retain it has either failed, or the moulded groove in the bottom of the socket has broken off allowing the clip to drop off.

Either way you're likely to be needing a new socket.

 

Hey Splitpin, so in this diagram which part do you think is most likely to have failed? Can you see the circlip you mentioned on this ?

The circlip I was talking about is item number 29 on that diagram, "snap ring outer" in Subaruspeak. The socket is item 19. The socket should be held into the stay by the snap ring. As above, if the socket has come out of the stay, either the circlip itself has broken all by itself, or the grove on the bottom of the socket has broken off, allowing the clip to fall away.

 

Cheers for the info bud, i'll let my bruv know the part number.

Hi again guys,

My bruv has purchased the C clip but isn't quite sure how to fit it, he now has pics of the disassembled parts could you mabe have a look and see if the c clip is the correct part to have and where exactly does it fit? cheers for your help:

Someone can help. come on peeps.

 

Cheers for sorting pics etc dave.

 

BTTT For tuesday morning.

 

How do you access the bottom of the socket to fit the circlip when it is in place? do you do it from under the car?

Cheers

Dave

 

Does anyone have any info on this?

cheers
