Symptoms
Sloppy gear changes, loose feeling gear shift, difficulty getting into gears especially reverse and first. Gears feel like they have shifted over to the left so that 3 & 4 are where 1 & 2 normally sit. Wobbly / loose gear stick.
Fault
A bush within the gear stick assembly wears causing shifting issues.
Within the OEM gear stick shift mechanism is a poor-quality Nylon bush, a ball at the bottom of the shift stick operates within this bush, this is tight friction fit, the Nylon being of poor-quality wears away, allowing excess movement, causing the faults noted above. The solution until now was to replace the whole gear shift unit, not only is this expensive but it would inevitably fail again.
Solution
Install our new improved design bush and restore sharp gear changes.
Fit our improved material and design gear stick bush. Replace the poor-quality OEM bush with our new part at a fraction of the cost of changing the complete gear stick assembly (£300+). This will bring the sharpness back to your gearbox and make driving the vehicle easier and more enjoyable.
Our bush is made from a high-quality modified nylon and will not fail like the OEM part. Our part is made in two halves to make installation very easy, please check out our instructions and video.
Our part is injection moulded for the perfect finish. This is essential in providing smooth operation and combating wear. Not 3d printed or machined. Constructed of the best material for this application, this is what we specialise in, please check out our feedback.
