    Ive got so much play in my gear stick its got to the point were im missing gears which is rather frustrating as you can imagen. I plan to purchase some KAM racing stainless steel linkages, which should tighten up all the gear links. From underneath the car i can see alot of movement in the ball at the end of the gear stick selector, what part do i need to replace and were will i be able to get hold of it?
    cheers karl!

    It's most likely the ball pin ontop of the gearbox. Get a friend or someone to sit in the gar with it in gear, have them wiggle the gearstick and look for any movement on the top of the gearbox, if there is, that's the issue.

    Fairly simple to fix.
