spudmurphy 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Hi, just a general sort of query (I think ) I've recently bought a 205 turbo diesel, and driving it the other day I noticed that when changing gear all the 'rear' gears ie 2nd, 4th and reverse the gear knob seems to be a very long way back, almost as far as being on top of the handbrake when its on. The gear change also seems to be a bit vague, especially when compared to my focus. I dont know if this is good or bad, just after someone setting my mind at ease really Ta Spud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey G 3 Posted June 15, 2007 Sounds like you have worn linkages. There is a bit of adjustment on the 'fore and aft' movement linkage and its also worth checking to see if its bent. Another thing to check is the crank arm that sits on the subframe as the bush in the middle can wear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianthemagical 1 Posted June 15, 2007 it will be one of the two short linkages (the one that is attached to the l shaped linkage. just adjust it till it's how you like. this happened when i changed my gear box, the stick was hitting the handbrake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
