Sticking Gear Stick

[JTBUSH]

My gear lever seems to get stiff when the engine gets hot. Ie, the spring action of the cross gate go's, so if you push the gearlever in the neutral position, all the way over to one side, it doesnt sping back to centre.

I have taken the ball joint and mech apart in the car, and greased it up. I have also looked at the gearbox end, which I fitted new bushes to recently, and it all seems fine there. As I say, i re newed all bushes and greased them up well only 4 months ago.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem - it's been looked at by 2 specialists, both at the gearbox end and the gearstick end and they don't know what's wrong with it. The only suggeston was that it might be the cables but that's a big job.

After doing some research, i have found it may be the bell crank pivot that may be the problem. These were the only bushes I didnt replace, as the ones that came with the kit didnt fit properly, and the pivot was very loose inside the bush. I am going to try and firstly grease this part again, and see if I get success. If not, I will replace the bushes.
