My gearbox feels very loose when changing gears, I believe there is a bolt I need to purchase to correct it, where in Melb is the best place to get it from?

As in loose how. If the gear stick feels sloppy, it probably is the shifter bush shitting itself. You have to buy a new gearstick, as as far as i know they are a complete assembly. If you mean the whole box is moving heaps, check you mount. Bit more info would help.

I hope it's not the gearbox that feels loose. If it is the gear stick lever, does it have a major amount of slop when in gear? Is it a 1.3? If the questions to these questions are yes, then you probably have a broken locating bolt. The end nib that locates the lever breaks off and lets the lever flop. There are two different sizes in these bolts. The best bet is to get these via a Suzuki dealer but they will want your VIN to identify what they have to get for you.

spot on...

if you grab your shifter stick and rotate it in a circle on the spot it is the bolt.
there are 2 different sizes. a 7mm and a 5mm.

pn are 7mm... 09135-10005
5mm.... 09135-08006.

if you grab your shifter stick and rotate it in a circle on a arch it is your
shifter bush.

do you know the part number for this? and where i can pic one up from in syd. i think mine has the same problem. the stick can change gears allright but car move side to side in an arcbout 100- 150 mm of play.

meh..so does mine...jsut drive it!!

i have been since i bought it but now im selling it

so what would it be if when in gear it has heaps of play from side to side
i l took the boot of my gear stick to have a look and im not sure what it is

with jumping out of second on down shifting would that be detent ball/spring?

i got the locating bolt for around 6 bucks and the bottom bush from suzuki. The top bush they said requires the shifter which costs 120 bucks near enough(dont think so). But went to exclusive jap(seem dodge but not enough to drill them) for 20 bucks non genuine. I also filled up part of the slot in the ball with weld and ground it back to where it should be coz that didnt help either

I make my own bushes for the tranasfer shifter,cut 8mm off the smallend off a hilux leafspring bush thread the stick through the hole its a bit tight to get the retainer back on but once you do no more slop and its been in there for 3years now , not sure if you can do this for the gearbox though, my 2cents

Having towed a mate home this evening after his gearstick became loose and suspecting that it was the locating pin, we removed the shifter, only to find that the pin is in tact but there are no bushes, just plastic grit where whatever was in there has totally disintegrated.

I haven't seen inside the top of the box for over a year. I remember a plastic bush that sits over the top of the ball (pivot) on the gear stick. but I do not recall a second bush.

Does anyone have the part numbers for these bushes, or a diagram of what what we will be looking for. I don't like the sound of the top bush (i assume the one I remember, pretty much a bottle lid with a hole in it) being $120 and having to come with a new shifter. Even $20 for non genuine sounds steep.

There was a rebuild set of bushes on ebay for $45. Keep an eye out for it.

This one...

What's the black "Ignition Timing Cover" included with this lot? I can't picture where it goes???

And do you think the "Steerig biscuit" would improve the steering feel at all. I didn't think the standard material in the joint would be that flexible that you'd notice any improvement.

I need a shifter bush for the trans, but I think I'd be better off getting it seperately...

Look under the engine bay on the LHS (passenger side) toward the back on the side of the ?bellhousing? - part of the motor, anyhow. You will see a black rubber cover with 'timing' or something like that moulded into the rubber. That's what it's for...

Does anyone know the seperate part numbers for the bits that are being sold on ebay?
When I checked my transmission bush it had a chip taken out of it.

Cheers.
