Notchy gear change

[BLZ-8027]

Anyone suffer from the above ?

Try greasing the shifter itself under the console, and also might be worth changing the bushings on the cable at the gearbox end for the TwosRus ones. Definitely get some MT 90 in the gearbox if you haven't done so already.

Done that apart from the oil ,fitted a short shift as well ,that was worse

Reason ive asked is ,when i removed the short shift, i bolted the cage direct to the car and its 100 times better ,smooth as silk now

wondered if anyone else was having issues ,and wanted to try this mod ,see if it helps ,or just a coincidence it helped me

FWIW, may be worth checking / changing the gearbox oil, I've just done mine ( Workshop manual says every 48k ) and put MT90 in. It does improve the shift quality a little, but won't cure more serious problems.

If you are doing the job - what does make it really easy to do is to use an oil transfer pump so you can pump in the new gearbox oil from below :

eg : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SIPHON-SYPHON ... 3f0a142b34

With that, you can drain and refill the gearbox easily in 30 minutes.
