Hi
I have or seem to have excessive play in my 1997 defender gear stick linkage. I have not done any exploratory research as yet ( I thought I would ask on here first) I suspect that there are a few bushings and pins worn between the gear lever and the top of the gear box. Does anyone know? is there a kit out there to replace these bushes etc? is this a common problem, easy to fix?
I thought I would ask as it is my daily driver and I didn't really want to investigate without at least some spares on site.
Regards
Will

Re: Defender gear linkage
Pull the shift lever boot off first and make sure the pivot retention plate is secure and the bias springs are adjusted correctly. Have a look in the workshop manual if it not clear. Beyond that, you are going inside the gearbox.

Re: Defender gear linkage
Thanks for the advice, I will have a look this weekend but I suspect I am going in the gearbox ultimately.
