spanner junkie 0 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Ever since getting my VR ive had a sloppy gearchange!Whilst changing my centre console i had a look around the gear selector and noticed that the shifter is quite sloppy and it looks like there should be some sort of circlip on the end!The question is....should there be!?This is what it looks like....

kilokilla 0 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Il check to make sure tomorrow but im pretty sure off the top of my head that yes there should be a little circlip on that metal rod to stop the white plastic bit sliding off of it.cheers carl.
