Ok, the gearstick on the project nova was ok then all of a sudden it just dropped to the side & now it wont stay in the middle & has gone really sloppy

It goes into gears fine but it just wont return to the middle & has no springiness.

I know with Fords there's a spring which keeps the gearstick central & returns it to the middle when in neutral - is there one on the Nova or have I messed something else up?

 

gear linkage is tatties

 

i think the vauxhall clip has slipped loose of the fanny bracket, if you lift up the google pin you should be able to reach under the bucket and finger the fanny back into place!!

 

I'm not sure exactly what it is that breaks but personally I'd just change the whole shifter, a few bolts underneath and one on the pinch bolt and its all out.

Mine had a habit of jumping out when you changed gear lol after it happened several times on track I just changed the whole assembly

 

any pics of the project mate?

 

AJ you interested in a complete spare 1.2 nova konis lowered polybushed rear and some other shit i forget (think uprated brakes)? 1.3 sr lump and 5speed box as well

 

is it free ?

If so I'll come and collect it

 

Thanks to everyone for the help apart from Kelv the coooont

The clip on the linkage had come off, it's all sorted now but I think I'm deffo going to change the whole thing soon!

rst in progress - I'll try & take some this weekend

rsnissan - pm me the details buddy
