gear linkage?!?

[robo22sri 10]

I was just wondering if anyone has info on the gear linkage.

 

When driving my car its teribble going from 1st to 2nd! and there is a fair bit of movement in the stick.

 

Is it hard to change the linkage? is my clutch shot?

 

Cheers Rob

could be a number of factors. check for loose fixings etc, then get the mechanism checked that its correctly adjusted before you start worrying about clutch/gearbox problems

thank you mate :D

 

 

I will look into it, I was thinking the linkage is probably shot being 19 years old :lol:

yeh mess around with the adjusters on the gearbox, mine was terrible when i got it but after 20mins adjusting its been perfect ever since.

I'm having a similar problem, from 1st to second theres a clicking/bump sound and the same from 2nd to 3rd? could it be the linkage?

a hard 1st to 2nd change is normally syncromesh inside the box. Marshall's clicking sounds like linkages though. A synco going is normally shown up by difficulty selecting gear including some grinding.

 

Deffo worth checking other things before splitting the box though!

I'll give it a go! Hopefully a quick fix with a 13mm spanner and a cuppa! Cheers
