Being as Jorily is currently not trading, can anyone remember which bits I need (they did a kit) to tighten up mt gear linkage? Diagram --> /http://www.vagcat.com/epc/cat/sk/FEL/1998/101/55/4330823/

Thanks

We can't see your photo because only registered users to that forum can see images.

Use imageshack or photobucket instead, or attach it to your post.

But my best advice is to get under your car (put on stands) and wiggle the linkage.

Take a clear photo of linkage while you're there and attach that photo indicating what's loose.

We'll give you the part numbers of bad parts quickly.

It's usually the joint which is centred on part 32. I replaced the one in the rally car with a steering joint from a fiesta (£9 delivered), welded it in, it's really nice and precise now, better than any standard one I've felt, and probably last longer too.

Which Fiesta part did you use, Darren, and do you have any photos?

cheers

It was one of these, James:

I don't have any photos, did it in a bit of a hurry and didn't realise I'd made such a bad job of the pictures that I did take - it was back on the car beforehand. Making it fit was easy enough, just chopped the ends off the joint, measured length and position of the stick relative to the sleeve that goes over the gearbox selector (put a parallel pin punch in there for a locator), took photos of it and then chopped it out, welded the new one in - one end was butt welded, the other end the lever tube went inside the fiesta joint to a degree, seam welded it, strong as in the end!
