To cut a long story short the wife's 206 1.4 (51 plate) popped the linkage of the gear box, I changed the 2 short linkages but forgot to get the pin to keep it on the gearbox so put a nut and bolt through, which seems stronger than the pin so I was going to leave it.
There is still alot of movement left and right on the stick, it doesn't look like the longer linkage has any effect on left or right movement and it looks ok.
I was thinking it could be the ball joint on the stick itself of the joint where the gear stick shaft meets the linkages at the front of the car.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Cheers

The long one doesn't seem to have any bearing on the left and right movement. I will change it anyway and see how it goes.

I found the ball joint on the subframe was loose when i changed my linkage rods, take a look at that. Its between the gearstick linkage rod, and what the gear rods connect to, Its got a big white plastic ball in it. You'll know it when you see it.

Changed all the linkages but there is still movement when in gear, you can't tell what gear you are in when driving.
Not sure what to do next, might have to bite the bullet and take it to a garage.
