There's a fairly big double-ended spring that holds the lever ball down (FRC7414). You should be able to change / see it from above by removing the lever gaiters. Page 411 of the parts bookmay help explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Are you sure it's not something else resonating? Exhaust heat shields are great for this kind of noise. If it is from the bottom of the gearstick, then you'll need to strip the top selector of the gearbox and find the source of the noise.

Tibout Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks for the response I'll investigate the shield heat as well but seem to be from the top if that the gear mechanism will that affect the gear change as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 if it is a broken bias spring or similar, then yes it would affect the gear change. Could equally be something else in or near the selector that is resonating and not affecting the gear change. There - think I've covered all possibilities with that answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibout Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'm going to investigate that noise and have a look at the bias spring and let you know thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
