Or take a video 😜 good one rich, I think rebuilding stuff like this is a good idea what’s the point in replacing metal parts that are not worn or damaged! What’s next??...
Actually from the car? The cables push fit on, they can be a bit fiddly to remove but after a bit of twist and pull they do come off. Then remove bolt which attaches to the clutch housing. Remember if you remove this linkage you have to lock/fix the gearstick. Remove gaiter , gearstick in neutral and you should see a plastic fixings with a hole in it , slide a drill or thin screw driver into to it and it will lock the gearstick to stop it moving while you remove the linkage. Hope this makes sense?
@@trickyg9130 Thanks for your reply, although I don't understand. There are 'no' cables to remove, the linkage mechanism doesn't have 'cables.' I just want to renew the bushes and link arm. Thanks again for your time, appreciated.
@@isobar5857 Sorry I’m thinking of a different engine. Where the linkage joins the transmission there is a joint with a pin which joins the linkage to the transmission rod. It’s a bit fiddly again but spray it up and there is a spring the other side of it which you should be able to push in which then pushes the pin out. The pin is about 2 inches long but once you get it out the linkage mechanism can be removed.
@@trickyg9130 Thanks again for the reply. This has turned out to be a nightmare of a job! Spent five hours on it today and had no luck. Got the linkage off and renewed the plastic bushings...now it wont go into gear. Had the locking pin[ the one with the spring behind it for gearbox location] but when this pin goes in, the white plastic plastic part of the gear stick is out off position and is not in line with the locator peg on it. Tried all positions of with 50mm tork clamp on the gear selector shaft coming from the gear change in the car and nothing works. At my wits end. Any further advice would be much appreciated, and thank you.
@@isobar5857 hmmm. Sounds like you have put it back together slightly wrong. I have done this. Hopefully you took some pictures before you took it off, but if you haven’t look for one on the internet/eBay to look at the picture for the positioning and orientation. It does sound like something is the wrong way round. Very easy to do as I’ve done it.
