Get the bits and service it, its only worn parts making it sloppy.
Doubt very much if you'll find a new linkage easily

Can you get a service kit for it? what about the actual selector on the gearbox the linkage connects too? think mines a bit worn.

The selector in the box will never wear to that extent, its always the linkage trust me.

From experience I don't trush you. The stick, casing bottom, casing top cover, etc. are usually extreamly worn and beyond repair. As a bonus, some parts cost so much that one can buy two new complete Puma shifters for the price of the replacement parts.

Whack the U/J with a hammer to tighten it down a bit.
If its worn shim it with washers then whack it lol

Internals are different
S1 has the 'gate' in the bottom of the plastic bit
