#1: Replacing the Gear Linkage Author: 20Drift, Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 12:31 pm ---- 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!

Then they just pull on and off, but you will probably need something like a pry bar to pop them off, and a pair of mole grips or something similar to pop the new ones in.

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?

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

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.

thanks

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

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

Thanks.
