Gear Stick Flop

Post by MD4x4 »

Guys,

I test drove a diesel gq today and the gearstick seamed to move side to side even though it was in gear?

What do you think the problem is?

Regards

There's a little plastic bush which snaps onto the ball at the end of the stick. It may have been missing this bush. Don't know for sure, just hazarding a guess.

It could be there but not 'snapped' into end of gear lever. Gearstick may have been removed to replace a clutch or something and not put back together quite right. the bush in question would cost no more than $10.

If it's broken i'd say it was just a faulty part. How can hard driving fcuk something that just works as a pivot point on the end of a gearstick. Must've been one cnt of a driver if it was


This is assuming of course that this is the problem. It was just my first thought to check this bush.

GQ Bear, I'm not sure GM meant it's necessarily been driven overly hard, just a LOT of movement (gear changes) will eventually wear out any moving part.
