    is it the same for the td, my car is a bugger to get in gear some days but other days it goes in soft as sh!t.
    will it fix my problem?
    I have looked at my linkage and it feels shafted,
    would it be easier just buying a new one?

    do i need to change the in car mechanism?

    i am really confused by the hole job!!!

    Trouble engaging all gears is more likely to be a ****ed gearbox. A rosejointed linkage will make it feel better, but it would be worth removing the existing linkage and checking it for excess play etc. I find the most noticable change is the addition of quickshift.

    Sadly I cant find the nylon bushes for the centre pivot anywhere, but would I would imagine it wouldnt be hard to find a universal fitment.

    they are exactly the same as the ones i got off ebay (and the same price)

    be warned, they are a very very snug fit :D but they need to be i hade to use some wd40 and a G-clamp to locate them then the lightest of teasing with a round file to get the pin to fit

    quality product i am amazed that we ever manage to locate any gears with the original bushes LOL
