   right, changing gear now, is sloppy as fuck... and not in a well lubed up sloppy... as in, it feels like there is nothing under the selector
   
   so i put it up on the ramps in work today
   had a look
   
   you got the gear stick comming from cabin
   and the long linkage bar, at the end of that is the cup which the rest of the linkages are connected to.
   
   in side that cup is meant to be a rubber bush, mine has .. well fucked off somewhere and now trying the find the right gear is an absolute wanker!
   
   i dont even know what it would be called, if i was to go down to Shitroen and say " oi i need this part"
   
   any ideas chaps?
   
   thanks

   yeah it knocks a lil... and when putting it into first gear, it sounds and feels like the gear stick, is hitting the bottom of the car
   
   im not impressed
   
   can still drive, but god knows what damage its going to do!

   tbh you may aswell part with the mon ey to uprgrade to the alloy linkages instread of messing with them ones as its just a waiting game for mine to go. they just get so brital and weak from all the years abuse.
