gear linkage

Hello all, cant find anything on here but apologize if its a re-occurring topic.
My Freelander td4 (2001) has developed an awful rattle and i have narrowed it down to where the gear linkage joins the gear box. I have followed the 2 gear linkages from the gear stick and one is nice and tight and the other you can give it a wobble and rattles like mad. As this is just an accident waiting to happen i was wondering if anyone has found the part required. i cant seem to find anything online just keep getting the gear stick end of the linkage.i almost her rattle free have changed suspension arms anti-roll linkages and all the bushes on the front so a lot better than when i started but this gear linkage is really annoying me now. Many thanks

its a rubbish design of a pin joining the shaft and the a collar going over it.

suggest you renew the pin and collar. i dont know the part number though.

ok il have a look tomorrow and se if i can source one thank you.

Hi There any news on this ?

My freelander has a sloppy gear change, I am having the gearbox replaced next week, but I thnk the sloppy gear change is a separate issue.

For those interested the reason the gear box is being replaced is don to the fact mine doesn't stay in 2nd.

Thanks in advance.
