Mk1 Gearbox

Hope so mate I bought a new gear linkage kit from GAP and I have it at home, as I wanted to get the wonkieness out of the throw hopefully I can kill two birds with one stone

Very easy fix there, gear knob off and the boot. Slide the circlip back down into its groove. Common problem. Tighten the circlip carefully with pliers before refitting it into the groove. You will see the groove when you lift the lever up and push down on the spring part.

Hmm not to sure Andrew the mechanic I went to did solve the problem however to get into first I need to press the gearshifter half way down and then push it towards the gear 1 and as for 2.

However 3,4,5 are ok, I am not sure what he did
