G3 Gear Linkage Kit

Restore a tighter, more positive gear change with this gearshift repair kit for manual rod-linkage gear change mechanisms. It is designed to replace worn, perished or missing gearshift bushes and linkage components that can cause a loose gear lever, excessive play, poor gear selection or difficulty finding gears.

The gearshift linkage transfers movement from the gear lever through the selector mechanism to the gearbox. Over time, the bushes and small linkage parts can wear out, allowing excess movement before the gearbox selector operates. Replacing these parts helps remove unwanted slack and can make the gear change feel much more direct and accurate.

This kit is suitable for manual gearbox models with the earlier rod-style linkage only. It is not suitable for cable-change models, including VR6 5-speed models.
