I used a new universal steering rack gaiter

I don’t think a gaiter will help mine. Looks like the retaining seal on the ball has snapped and so there’s obvious play in my ball...

Right - have bought the spacer version of a quick shift to give it a go. Looks like some irreversible surgery required....

Anybody fitted a quick shift from Kischki and have their old original lever they’re prepared to part with?

Perfect. Message on the way. Ta

I fitted a spacer version but found it stopped the reverse lock out from working. Result, every junction was a gamble! I guess it could have been fine tuned but I couldn't figure out how.

I pulled the thing out and don't find the long throw any kind of problem, plus I can't get into reverse without pushing down on the gear stick, so that's a bonus.

Anti rattle bearing, I purchased one to see. Not fitted it yet.
With a bit of measuring it appears to be this one.

Good find. Let us know if it works. I’m sure mine will need one.

you are right...it still worked a few days ago...but now not anymore.

it was the same bearing as from 123 bearings

at the end of the day a bearing is a standadized parts for industrial use....nothing "specifically" made for this application.

you can buy them at your local bearing- and industrial products shop, you just need to give them the correct code.

I wonder if this bearing ever worked. Not quite sure where it’s supposed to go though even if it did. Is it on the later S models only?????
