Gear linkage

Post by mmarks »

Firstly, apologies for not speaking Dutch - yet!!!!

On my 1989 ax 11E every time I put the car in reverse, the large ball and socket seperate & I have to crawl under the car to push them back into each other.

There is a linkage that connects to a plate on the bellhousing that is broken, the plate has snapped in half but I cannot seem to remove it to replace it.

I tried holding the large ball and socket together with tie-wraps and that worked for a couple of days but then failed again (I assume the tie-wraps stretched when I put it in reverse.

Any suggestions?????

use a little peach of plastic bag over the ball so it has more body.


or buy a new one for 25 euro

You mean the rubber ball in the tubular thing? Then you have to find a way to keep that linkage in place. maybe you can connect it somewhere else

The large ball is rubber????

I assumed it was metal.

If rubber, maybe I can glue a plate to the end of it then screw it into the rubber ball to hold it in place, as well as lots of tie-wraps!!!

haha that's also an option. Its a rubber ball but the metal rod goes in a fair bit. So I don't think you've got enough rubber in the middle of the rubber ball.
