MK4 Fiesta 1.25 Zetec Gearbox Issue
The gearlever on my Cousins car has stopped self centering. Is there anything on the linkage that can cause this?
I have a feeling its something in the box that has broke. Does anyone have a pic/diagram of the linkage inside the box?
Cheers

Nope, there is no springs in the visible linkage.

there is a gate inside inside the box that over the years builds up swarf and blocks out. It is pretty common.

Nope just a UJ.

Is there an easy fix without pulling the box off?
