Specification: 100% Brand New Color: Black Size:Please check the picture below Type: Gear Shift Stick Repair Bush Interchange Part Number: Replacement X8R0078 The gear stick feels loose / sloppy and it can be difficult to shift in to Typically Reverse or 1st gear is hard to select or requires force. Crunching gears can also be a symptom of this fault. The nylon bush within the gear shift mechanism wears causing excess movement and gear shift faults. Within the gear shifter unit is a nylon plastic bush which rotates on a ball joint. Over time the soft nylon wears leading to excess movement on the ball joint which manifests itself as excess play in gear selection. This excess play allows the gearstick to move up and down inside the mechanism leading to a loose feeling when selecting gears or can even make it difficult to select certain gears. Previously the only solution to this issue was to replace the entire gear shift assembly as the bush was not available as an individual part. Fit this gear shift bush and eliminate the excess play in the gear shifter unit. Applicable vehicle: All petrol engines and the diesel engines: 1.7, 2.0, 2.2.
