Gear Stick Pivot Bush Worn And Loose

[Ionos]

Hi all,

I took my shifter apart today and the pivot bush is quite worn and loose, hence my gearstick doesn't shift as smoothly as it should. I've seen a lot of threads talking about the smal nylon bush on the end of the shifter, but in this case it's the pivot bush in the middle of the stick that is worn. There are two parts to the bush, the one that the shifter sits in, which in turn then sits in one that sits in the gearbox casing.

Hope that makes sense - can I get a replacement of these parts?

Cheers.

you probably could but i think you'll have a hard time getting it off and on without cutting it. i remember i had to cut that bit to transfer it over to a shortshifter. i used to have rough gearchange from 1 to 2 but it disspeared when i installed the short shifter.

Hmm it appeared that these bits slipped off easily when I took it out? Mabey my memory is hazey...
