Title: gear selection problem Post by: credders on June 04, 2012, 12:57:54 PM ive not used my beta for a while but had to move it out the garage. when i selected 1st it didnt seem to go in far enough and jumped out, if i hold it in it is alright and dosent jump out when on the move. i know these are prone to linkage bush problems i havent had the chance to take it for a blast down the road yet. ive had a look in the manuel about this 15degree angle of gearstick. myquestion is, should i try to adjust linkage or just get new bushes providing the box is ok?

How long has the car stood for? The oil might be past it's best and stuck to the bottom of the box making things worse?
