kie_dub 0 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I am having issues with my box since it came out of the garage, dave has already offered to have a play around to see whats wrong, but i had the car in my mates garage the other night and had a quick look, we compared his linkage to mine and noticed that his has like a gold 'weight' sort of this, abit like a pendulum, its straight then it bend to the right at the top and its held on to the linkage at the top. Now i dont have this on mine but you can see that i have had one on there because i have the 2 screw holes and its a diffrent shade on the linkage where it has been.I want to know what this thing is, and if it will have an effect on my gear selections. For anyone who didnt see my last thread, the gears dont seem to be in line and it was fine before it went in for the full engine rebuildThanks, Kieron Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, I think I know which one you mean in astley, might have a wonder up when I get time. Just glad its going to get sorted without needing a new box etc Link to post Share on other sites
