check your gearshift boots the bigger outside one and the smaller inner one

if its ripped get new ones along with a dop of gearbox oil and the nylon cup washer thing that goes on the bottom of the ball bit

change it all over and remove old turret oil and refil with new gearbox oil i used toilet roll and a screw driver took quite a bit of roll and time heard a turkey baster is good also or whatever it is.

and then your gear change will be like new! mine was a bit stiff and had to force it into gear sometimes when i checked my boots were ripped to bits and bottom one was offski!

now that i've changed all this over just a flick of the wrist and it slots in nicely!

I also hear that if you clear all the fluff from the rear vent, your hairdryer is much more efficient.

what you trying to say mate
