rodney 17 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 "Usually" if there are other gears in the same throw motion having the same/similar issue then it's a link. If it one specific gear ----- then ether run away scared or get it looked at b4 you buy so you know what it is!I say Usually because if it is an adjustment or cable/linkage issue then it tends to effect more than one gear. However as gearboxes are a law unto themselves they can effect just one gear. They're nice like that Some prudent questions and a garage report if it is a good price will put your mind at rest. If he refuses there's your answer Hope it helps a litlle Link to post Share on other sites
