Does the 206 1.4 HDI replace the same as above? Would like details on complete removal at gear shift end too please?
Thanks. |

I believe thei'r both the same.
Mind you don't break off the balls when you pull them.  |

180 Uses cables not rods so that it clears the exhaust manifold. |

they can be absolute pigs to do as ive been doing them recently. 13mm and 14mm spanner seem to be a half decent way to pop them off (lever the 13mm against the 14mm)
else have a pry bar and catch the edge of the linkage and pop it that way off. youll see how it works when your looking at it. |

| leave it in neutral and you'll be fine, just try not to let the ball pop out on the linkage. |

I see it! Thanks Lee. Also, should I leave the car in gear or neutral when carrying out the change? |

Cheers for the speedy response!
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to fiddling around in the engine bay/underside of the car - I work mainly in audio systems and ICE.
Where abouts is the throttle body/airbox pipe? |

Hi Guys,
I've got a 206 LX 1.4 Petrol, and the gear stick has become a bit wobbly/jelly like, (there's a more-than-normal amount of play in the gear stick, indicating the rubbers have worn).
I've been looking at a replacement, but wanted to know if anyone's got a how-to or rough guide about how I'd go about changing the gear linkage?
Many thanks in advance!
