has any one got pictures of gear lever set up

 

??? how you mean set up????

 

the return spring how its fitted

 

wont it say in haynes?

 

No it doesn't. It only really covers the transmission for the 1.8/2.0l models which is slightly different.

 

I have the 1.6 with the iB5 transmission

 

i have the same set up.if you explain to me what your on about mate i will have a look out side tomorow for you

 

I am trying to find out how to fit the gear lever return spring so it goes back into the third forth slot properly. The haynes manual doesnot seem to cover this procedure or give a clear picture/breakdown of the parts cheers mate

 

is this gearbox end or inside the car

 

bottom of gearstick I am led to believe

 

 

what made you play with it any way

 

you need to give more detail possibly with pictures then i can tell you

 

I have not yet played with it but problem is gear lever does not centralise as it should so third gear sometimes difficult to find.

 

so you have had nothing apart yet.if its only sloping to one side its nothing serious.when you take it apart it will become obvious what it is

 

OK thanks

 

mine does this on my 1.8.. doesnt look hard just not got round to it yet

 

cheers mate will attempt it when stores open tomorrow

 

Here's the 'how to' guide. http://www.fileshost.com/download.php?id=BD3CE4EB1 very straight forward. About £4 for the spring but use some grease on it when installing it. Found the code for the spring: FINIS 1142069 quote that number to ford and they'll know the part you need.
