The four parts that are listed on in the Tech Article as 'essential', are they only available from the dealers or do GSF or anyone else stock these parts (Gear Lever, Spacer Ring, Circlip, Bearing)?

Thanks Giles.

It mentions in the article that there are other parts you can replace but it's more like an 8 hour job rather than a 30 minute job. With the engine out of the car does it make access any easier and therefore reduce the time of the job do you know?
