About X8R GEAR SHIFT STICK LEVER LOOSE SLOPPY REBUILD
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION It is common for the nylon bush within the gear shifter unit on vehicles with F23 gearboxes to wear and fail leading to excess movement in the gear stick shifter; making it difficult to select gears. Our replacement bush allows you to resolve this issue at a fraction of the cost of a complete gear stick shift mechanism. SYMPTOMS OF FAULT: The gear stick feels loose / sloppy and it can be difficult to shift in to gear. Typically Reverse or 1st gear is hard to select or requires force. Crunching gears can also be a symptom of this fault. THE PROBLEM: THE NYLON BUSH WITHIN THE GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM WEARS CAUSING EXCESS MOVEMENT AND GEAR SHIFT FAULTS. Within the gear shifter unit is a nylon plastic bush which rotates on a ball joint. Over time the soft nylon wears leading to excess movement on the ball joint which manifests itself as excess play in gear selection. This excess play allows the gearstick to move up and down inside the mechanism leading to a loose feeling when selecting gears or can even make it difficult to select certain gears. Previously the only solution to this issue was to replace the entire gear shift assembly as the bush was not available as an individual part.
