Gear linkage
This week I have been mostly.........changing all the gear linkages after struggling for months to get it into first and second. After doing all the bushes except the gearstick I then found it was worse!! Then I checked the gap between the gearstick "finger" and the gear selector housing underneath and found the gap wasn't right which was preventing the stick from moving far enough to the left when trying for 1st and 2nd, so after setting the gap to 15mm the problem was sorted and I now have a silky smooth gearchange and easy selection of all 5 gears. Been out for a blast today and after washing and drying have put her away for the winter. Feel sad now!!
