thought this may be of some interest - Niall - 11-05-2013
Well ive been looking for a solution to this for bloody ages and its finally come up on the 6 forum so this is shamelessly stolen from there!
Sloppy gear change is usually caused by 3 things. Bad linkages (replace with uprated ones), loose bolt and worn bearing connecting the gear shifter to the selector rod and the bush on the other end of the selector rod. 1st two are easy but the third isn't. The bush wears down over the years allowing the nylon ball to rattle about in there and gives a sloppy change but now luckily it seems you can get replacement bushes.

Just cost me £8.35 delivered but most of thats postage so im sure someone on here could do a group buy if needed to keep costs down.

Interesting. Mine is sloppy as hell! Any idea where i could get a new ball from? Peugeot wanted about £30!
RE: thought this may be of some interest - Grant - 11-05-2013
Good find! Deffo up for a group buy!
RE: thought this may be of some interest - Niall - 11-05-2013
Well if i can get 7 names, ill order them and send them out (once ive fitted mine so i can say for sure how much of a difference they make!)
RE: thought this may be of some interest - Grant - 11-05-2013

No. The bearing is not available from pug. It comes as part of the selector rod which is NLA but someone on the 6 forum found a equivalent.

Very good shout niall I could prob do with 2 so shout me if a groupe buy goes down as im not desperate to buy one now?
RE: thought this may be of some interest - bigcheez2k3 - 12-05-2013
I'd probably be interested if it makes a difference, both my DT's have been a lady garden to get into 1st sometimes.
Re: thought this may be of some interest - kentiiboii - 12-05-2013
How much work to for them? If not much I'll take one
RE: thought this may be of some interest - Rich306 - 12-05-2013
I think I'd definitely be interested, upgrading my linkages soon
RE: thought this may be of some interest - Chris - 12-05-2013

Niall got his for £9 delivered and most was postage so how do you justify 36 each delivered?
RE: thought this may be of some interest - Chris - 13-05-2013
£6 each, complete lack of this keyboard being able to use its shift key.
RE: thought this may be of some interest - 4WayDiablo - 13-05-2013

RE: thought this may be of some interest - Chris - 13-05-2013
