Done an engine & box swap today for a like for like M40 1.8
Linked up the gear shift and the stick just feels sloppy as you like, with no recistence at all.
Do i take it that the box is sha**d?
If so any ideas as to why?

May be item 14 amongst other parts is worn did this part come already on the replacement box? Is the linkage mounted correctly into item 4?

Aargh - doing a linkage refresh whilst the box is in the car is no fun 
Parts 2, 4, 7, 14 may all need replacement and the bush in the end of the lever itself can wear out so put a new lever on the list.
