I've got a wobbly knob and I don't like it!

When I put my car in gear (manual), I can shake the gear stick around, side-to-side. It dosen't effect the car in gear, just makes changing gears less smooth. I'm making an assumption that there are some bushes - rubber or otherwise - around the linkages under the center console. Can anyone provide me any info on this? Or does anyone know what I need to replace (part numbers?) and where I could source these parts?

Cheers,

Gavin

Yeah, there's a couple of nylon 'cups' that snap on the vertical & horizonal pivots points of the stick itself. I'll dig up the numbers from CAPS tonight. I think there might also be a few other little plastic bits in there that wear - I'll pop up the diagram as well

u must be putting overcharging mechanics out of business ben!

That'd be awesome, thanks

I was half way right *Bens brain swims in beer suds*

There's 1 main bush cup on the base of the stick which will most certianly cause 'loose stick' as you say

Part number is MR232147

Thanks Ben, much appreciated.

Its still bugging me a bit thou mate... I coulda sworn there was another one in there. Im also thinking there could be a nylon roller type bearing in the end of one of the cables I'll have a look at mine today.

Righto, i was right:



2 bushes & they are both the same, so when you order from Mitsi, order 2

Cool, I'm getting them replaced in about a week, according to my mechanic, $18 or $36 (depends which mechanic I speak to) out of Melbourne.

Durr! Don't mind me, I think I'm retarded. Obviously the $36 is for the two of them.
