ibiza gearbox

[ibizadave]

hi all, i have a 95 ibiza gti that has just had a rw inspection, the only thing i cant do myself is the gearbox linkages need tightning as the lever is sloppy, any help on where to get the part to fix this or if they just need tightening is much appreciated

THey dont just need tightening.
If you look in the engine bay, where the linkage comes up the car, there is a barr with a moulded ball on a relay shaft.
These get hot and the ball melts, this gives a world of slop in the linkages.
You need to buy the shaft with the moulded ball on it as one unit.
I can supply one delivered to you door, call with a credit card.
