this is my wifes
Vauxhall Meriva
1.8 petrol and she seems to have lost
the gears really you can see the lever is loose and sloppy
When you move the gear lever across
reverses actually now third
now this just
so much movement and free play
Im just going to look at it now as it's a classic sign of the gear linkage
worn or broken. I have had a quick look
it's not broken so just worn out really so I purchased this
this one which is the new linkage
costly me £30
from Ebay bay and it's the modified one as well
and yo can get one for about £15 include with the plastic arm
there which is the standard plastic one I paid
£27 I think it was actually, 27 pounds and
for one with the modified arm you can get service kits for about 6 - 7 pounds which
includes all the plastic bushes
and circlips
things like that but that means stripping all this down
and changing all of this so to save myself some time
I bought a brand new one and I have gone for the one with the modified metal linkage
OK this should be possible from the top without getting underneath the car
but we will soon find out
What I have got to do Is undo this bolt from underneath
Which is normally an allen key
Remove this "Top Hat" retainer off the center pivot which just clips off
And get the split pin out of here
By unclipping it from underneath and just pulling it through
Thats all i have got to do
but where it is, if we have a look at the engine
is down there
and you cant really see it but you can get into it
But to show you what's going on it's gonna be a nightmare
I have a torch but its not going to help allot
the nut is there You can just see it there
I have got to get underneath that nut
Then take off the plastic retaining cap off there
and then if you can see it, you can just about see
The other end of the linkage is there
I have got to try and remove that splitpin, pull it out of the top
so what I have got to do is
There is a little spring clip, I will show you later when I get it out
there is a little spring clip underneath the bottom of that pin
and you have to hold the spring in while you pull the pin out of the top
so as you can see
axis is very tight but you can be handed in just now
and comedy video I'm doing it because
well you not see anything but I'm up for that even
scar Salem day 06 playing longer today
from and was obtaining of will show you
the split in the I'm not sure to come and
patch cable particular show you up with a nazi or could be
if you can reach a bit note and click

very fatally simple in theory
very relitigate happy to use two hands down there
to get to it

John talk to them see letter the
as the new linkage butch up to school on
completo a it in it
