Gear Linkage Problem

Thanks mate, I might get a few circlips and nylon washers just in case !

I'm going to give this a bump and sticky the thread as others seem to be experiencing the same issue !

They certainly do. Only yesterday on the Facebook Suzuki forum somebody was complaining of this very problem 😳

Hi @Peter - my friend has the exact same problem with his car, I just wanted to ask what width hose pipe you used! i'm going to replicate the same fix, have just ordered the circlips - thanks again for posting that.

@mcrdave23 from memory it was standard garden hose that would fit all the Hozelock type stuff, I believe it's 1/2 inch internal diameter. The width of the bit I cut was roughly 15mm, but I had plenty of hose so there was a bit of trial and error. Hope that helps!

Ah brilliant thanks so much for getting back so quick. I can chop a small section off my hose and hopefully that does the trick. Will let you know how we get on.

We had a go at this today with the method you recommended and it worked a treat! Only thing is we couldn't find the right size washer so part 2 will be to fit one to take out the left / right slack. Got us back on the road though so just wanted to say cheers again.

No worries, glad the post helped!

Hi, currently having the same problem, only being honest I don’t really know what I’m doing. I’m going to have a go tomorrow, just got a couple questions if you could possibly give a little clarification. I have a bushing repair kit and understand it’s usually one of two that need replacing, one of them that is accessed through the engine bay and the other on the gear box, in the instance it is the one on the gear box can I access this from inside the car or does it need taking out from underneath? Thanks for your help.
