   You can get some from Kam Racing. I think they are around £50 ish but dont quote me on that. Take a look on their website.
   Other than that, I think Mikol had some in the FS section, could have sold though

    if you open the bonnet and look right down the back of the engine bay behind the gearbox area you will see gear linkages and they will be attatched to that, you can change it with a jack but I wouldn't advise getting under a car without some kind of blocks or axel stands, maybe you could get at it if you drive up a high curb or something should give you enough space
