I have been experiencing increasingly vague and notchy gearchanges over the past couple of months, almost as if the whole "gate" had been moving around. I now know why-the main connecting rod from the gear lever to the change speed mechanism on the gearbox has just sheared off at the gearbox end. It must have started with a crack which became bigger and the shaft must have become weaker as a result. Has anyone ever heard of this before? I must admit that when my clutch cable snapped and a temporary repair was done, that meant I had to be a bit brutal with the gear lever to engage the appropriate gears, perhaps this is what started it off? I now need to consult EPC and see about parts availability...
