Hello all.

The gearshift in my Mk1 1.8iS has been getting stiffer and notchier for a while now. I figure that at just over 90,000 miles the gear turret oil/lubricant needs replacing. I've found the link to this excellent pictorial how-to on miata.net:

...but I was wondering if anyone here has actually done this themselves, and if so, was it as easy as the photos on that link make it appear to be?

Ta!

Thanks all!

Lazza - please pardon my woeful ignorance on the subject, but how does one go about changing the gearbox oil?

...aaand that'll teach ME to read a link through thoroughly!

Many thanks for your response and for humouring an over-caffienated idiot!
