Gear Linkage Bushes

[koos]

My gearlever is a bit sloppy, its up on the hoist tomorrow at work and thought I might aswell do them, how does one go about doing these and what is involved? Parts cant be that expensive can they?
Thanks

I have seen poly ones for sale that means the sloppiness doesn't come back. But I've only seen them for sale in the US.
The rear one needs chaging too and I think it means dropping the gearbox for access.

Sure the experts will be along soon.

ive just done this job [well sort of] looked up the etk and ordered the bushes came to about Ԛ£14.00 after finishing the job i then find out that there is a knuckle that i should have changed as well, as it is better but not as tight as it should be, i also had no order the bushes as they are not stock items.

anyway exhaust has to be dropped/removed, heat shield needs to be removed, prop/shaft needs to be removed from gearbox end,

you can then drop the the rear of the gearbox by the cross member bolts inorder to get to the linkage which is above the gearbox also need to remove the gearknob and gaitor from in the car.

Thanks, you've just made up my mind, I will leave it till a: It breaks or b: I do a clutch

Just reminds me of why I work on Trucks and not cars.

Thanks a heap for the info.
