gear lnkage bush

Finally got round to trying to sort a couple of problems today with the car on the ramp at a local garage.

First one was a sloppy gear change. Appears that the gear linkage bush had come loose. Managed to push it into the bracket but I'm pretty sure it will come loose again soon. Any ideas how to secure this properly or whether a new bush is required. looks like a PITA to replace. A couple of pics below.





Other probelm is a creaking noise from the clutch which i thought was a worn clutch fork. Removed the slave cylinder and checked it out, but all seemed to be in order. The noise definately seems to be coming from the bell housing, probably the pressure plate. Is it possible that this is just the new clutch bedding in or could it be more serious.

The round bearing should sit in a plastic colare which is then held with a circlip from underneath. Called a pivot bush can be purchased from Clever Trever/ Race Tech It is also the same as the pivot used for the roof mounting points. Hope this helps Cheers Rick.
