I've noticed that reverse gear has been getting more and more difficult - the lever runs out of travel and hits the edge of the hole in in the console JUST as reverse goes in - or it did, now it's getting more hit and miss. Gear selection just seems a bit vague overall.

I've checked that the clutch is getting full travel (not punching through the release arm) and I'm pretty sure that it's the selector itself.

I've ordered a new saddle (the bit on the selector rods that the lever goes into) as those can wear. What I can't find, is the nylon bush / pivot ball joint that goes on the end of the lever itself - I remember seeing on here that somebody had replaced theirs, but I can't find the relevant posts.

Any guidance guys?

Thanks Mike, that's the bit I meant - I had a picture of it in my head but I see now what you mean - that's going to be a nightmare if it needs fixed! Probably easier to shorten my arm and put a standard gear lever in, further back!

We'll see how the new saddle goes, eh?
