Hey guys,

 

Had some issue with my gearbox recently sticking and not bouncing back too neutral.

 

Ive done some digging online and I think it's this bad boy but I'm not 100% sure anyone know the name of it, I cant seem to get much google hits on this at all.

Anyone know if this is a costly job looks like a nightmare to get too. I'm hoping this part replacement and transmission oil top up will sort it. 

 

If anyone has any possible ideas/ solutions?

 

Thanks guys.

It's incredibly easy to get at, you just have to remove that airbox trunking first!

If I had the tools I'd have a crack, that's the downside too living in a 1 bed flat no storage space and awkward place to work.

 

 Do you know the name of it, I'm guessing it's called the gear linkage? seems like a common problem.

 

because of lockdown shes been sitting there and I think it's just corroded and needs a clean, lots of parts that where fine 6 months ago seem much more rusty.

Is that eBay listing the part you want to replace or need to lube?

 

Even from what you can see, you could most likely spray all around it with WD40 and then leave a day or so. It may help and then, spray grease, leave again for a day.  If that works, job done for a tenner and half a can of both left over!

Thanks for that, looking at that part it's almost built to fail. The wd40s not a bad shout tbf but I'm worried that oil could just attract some more dirt into it in the long run, I think it's the alu casing that's got gunk / corrosion so needs to be smoothed where the plastic rod slides in, but this is just me guessing, I'm sure itll be the whole gearbox that's broken knowing my luck lol. Cheers.

Hey guys, 

 

Had this fixed now, the gear linkage was just seized up had it realigned and greased, he said gearbox might be abit ropey so could be a future thing, But feels brand new now. Cost £80 if any one is interested.
