Could the clang be because of missing parts 26?

 

 

The T part is unbuttoned that's why the end of the shift rod is visible in the photo.

One push with a lever, it buttons and everything looks fine but after few weeks "clang" again.

Ah, right, the penny has now dropped with me, it is loose but not completely disconnected, I could not see the detail in the photos and I think perhaps the drawing has the clip facing the wrong way.

I can make gear changes with no problem but the clang sound (plus the idea that is not buttoned 100% in the rod as it should be) makes me nervous.

 

Yes very annoying, one of the 'joys' of using an old car.

 

After waiting so long the item never arrived so i had to order a new one from elsewere, i am outraged.

Next week will arrive and then i had to go to the repair-shop for installation.
