   Wizards sleeve?! Haha
   
   Gear linkages have been replaced but the gearstick still feels extremely loose - all the gears are there and selectable but its like stirring broth.
   
   What am I looking for (apart from Viagra) to stiffen things up?
   
   Ta!

   Alot of the time its the rubber ball thingy on the end of the linkage, it pops off and leave u with major erectile disfunction, have a look at one of the guides on here, it tells you how to get rid of major slop completely

   Roll pin or the selector arm on the back of the box having lots of play is the most likely culprit
