Gear selection problems

This is the bit

 

There's no evidence of the bush at all

 

The bit that fell out came off here,

 

Where abouts all my ancestors came from Anstruther ...nice area . I would buy the Bentley manual or the haynes (bentley is better ) if you have not already got them .
It explains the gear shift adjustment clearly .

 

I might have a replacement for that broken bit if you'd like it. £10 posted.

 

I'm in Thornton it's about 30 miles from Anstruther it's a lovely fishing village and great for a day trip in the van
I got how to keep your vw alive for Christmas not really got the cash for another manual

 

I may have jumped the gun is this a metal selector bush if it is is it in good condition?

 

B

brilliant mate I'm guessing this is where my problems have came from

 

Theres a fair groove here should I file and sand it smooth ?

 

I nearly came up from derbyshire to view a bay at Anstruther it was a blue and white, would of been about three and a half years ago now ...i bottled out due to the distance .

 

Sorry, I looked and have the other 2 bits, but not the bracket.

 

Any idea where I'd get one ?

 

From someone with a bust gearbox in the shed?
Maybe heritage sell them even.

 

The hockey stick ball is also what you are missing

Pretty sure the bracket is steel so could be welded and fixed that way

 

Yeah mate that was my plan if I can't find one

 

You will need to replace that. Heritage should have one, I will be re facing them as soon as I can get the right grade of stone for my Table. Check that the bearing on the input shaft is tight as it looks loose to me, if it has any up and down play you have problems.

 

Ok got the bracket welded and fitted a new bush
The gearshift is now stiff and the gearbox is on the van
It was snowing so went sledging instead of fitting the engine

 

Yaay the vans driving
Only thing is I tightened the clutch cable too tight and I can't slacken the wing nut now any advice how to do it?
Also the oil warning light doesn't come on when I turn the ignition to the first notch don't think it was on before I took engine and gearbox out is this a problem ?

 

There is a hex part of cable between cable and threads. Molegrips. If oil light not working how will you know you have oil pressure? Sender or wire, simple and cheap.
