cornishvr6 52 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi ALL, Driving back from work this eve the gearbox seemed to go very loose when selecting gear the a couple of junctions later i couldnt select anything, Popped the bonnet and when looking down at the linkage by the weighted arm theres a cable with a rubber bush with a bolt through it that had become unattached from the sleeve, Pressed it back in and made it back and able to select gears again, Has some sort of clip broken from this for this to happen or may the rubber have worn over the years and need a new one? couldnt get pics as it was dark but any help appreciated Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 the rubber bush could have worn in the end of the cable i had that happen to mine cant remember if you can put a washer over the top to stop it from happening again or if you need a new cable .....
