Tighten up the nuts and bolts holding the gear stick in place. Remove gear knob and trin. Undo metal rim holding rubber in place. Tigheten everything up, refit in reverse order.

Check that the L-shaped bracket on the subframe isn't loose too.

I found the one next to it was loose on mine. ie not the L bracket that gets quickshifted or is that the one your referring to?

Think the same one was loose on mine.. the short stubby thing that carries the big linkage, has a spring clip through it?

Worth checking.

iv not yet looked under the trim,but is it common for the bolts to be loose?ive checked the L piece and rod selecters and are all tight,just the gear knob selector thats got the most movement it stays in gear but you can move the stick to far back and round?hope this makes sense
