Subject:Shifter linkage cup and balll question
From:Jaap Nauta

Hi,

While cleaning the shift linkage I found out there was quite some play
between the ball and the cup near the transmission. Will replacing the
ball-part be sufficient (it's more like an egg :-), or should the cup also
be replaced? If yes, what is the part number? (I do have the part number
of the ball-part).

Apart from that my "home made" short shift kit works fine, as expected
still a bit sloppy due to the play further down the line. One item I have
to deal with is the length of the sleave under the pivot-ball, which is
about 3mm too long, resulting in getting in reverse too easy.
