Gear Linkage Broke

Post by Gary406 »

bloody gear linkage has broken on me today.
reversed car off my drive went to select 1st gear and it wont come out of reverse.
the gear stick is only pushing upto 5th and back to reverse i cant get it to go back to centre :frown: :frown: :frown:

looked at the linkages and one rubber has clearly perished and snapped off. the metal bar is loose but the rubber bush is still on the ball joint on the gearbox

are these easy to change. is it just push fit on both sides ..
