Hi,
If you gear knob is loose-ish then you could pull it off (fnnar fnnar) and pack it a bit with dum dum putty/ blu-tac etc.
Is you knob hard plastic (fnnar) as opposed to nardi leather one? Think the hard ones vibrate more. Had the wood look plastic one on a sud and it had horrendous fith gear vibe.

OK, new gear change bush (gearbox end, 60524873) is in. The old one was knackered and it has improved the fifth gear buzz but not completely. Gentle presure to the righ elimantes it. So, what else could this be. The two gearstick end bushes are now NLA according to Mangoletsi.
At the 60524873 end I have one normal washer and the clip and this is fairly loose, should I consider a second washer? |

| Oh good. I'd get a spare set while your at it unless you mod that crap circlip holding everything together. I haven't got round to doing the mod on my 33, but I do have a spare kit in the glovebox in case the clip decides to fall off one day. |

| Last time I spoke to Mangoletsi about these (a few months back) they didn't have any. Phoned again today and they had stock so one is winging it's way to me. |

But not in England, not last time I tried anyway.
Do you have a friendly source in Greece?
Cheers

Is that the rubber bush at the bottom of the gearstick, the pivot point for the gearstick as it were or is there a bush were the stick joins to the forward linkage?
Is the former replaceable from in the car?
Anyone know if the bush is available? |

You probably need a new rubber bush for the selector. |

Yeah think it just pulls off and fits back over steel lip.
Never taken one off as it can stay in situe when dropping engine/box.

How does the rubber gaiter around the gear lever come off (note: the inner runner one not the leather one).
I can't see any fixings does it just pull off? |
