    Number 2 on that diagram - the ball..it doesn't go in far enough and keeps popping out.

    Any ideas? Cheers

    the ball is meant to sit inside and NOT BE TIGHT
    i repeat.. it is only meant to sit in the hole.
    if ur linkages feel sloppy then change them all.. maybe get rose jointed ones...
    any problems pm me

    The selector arms no.s 4+5 may need adjusting and lubricating

    It doesn't sit in far enough, and when the gear lever is pushed forward it falls straight out

    check the bolts on the gearbox housing.
