When To Replace And Common Faults
Symptoms indicating worn linkage rods include excessive play in the gear lever, difficulty engaging gears, or a notchy or loose shift feel. Common causes are worn ball joints or bushings, corrosion, bending from impacts, or fatigue after prolonged use. Service life varies with driving conditions; many units last well beyond 100,000 km under normal use.
Replacement Guide
Replacement is straightforward for experienced mechanics: raise and securely support the vehicle, access the linkage at the gearbox and under the center console, remove retaining clips and fasteners, detach the old rods and fit the new ones. Ensure correct alignment of the linkage and re-install all retaining clips and fasteners. Verify gear selection across all gears before final assembly. Basic hand tools are usually sufficient; a torque wrench may be required for specific fasteners.
