Stationary M25 Traveller Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Maybe get it welded ? And one less Shredded Wheat for breakfast ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Dave Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Worth finding one with the metal spherical bearing, a much better shift action than the one you are using with the rubber block. I swapped mine a couple of years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Flipping heck, how did that happen?! I have one of each type, the older Sierra sort like yours and also a newer Quaife/Caterham one. I'm not getting rid of the spherical bearing one but could be tempted to part company with the old one, which worked fine and dandy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myothercarsa2cv Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Bit of an aggressive gear change, was it? Quoting Fishy Dave: Worth finding one with the metal spherical bearing, a much better shift action than the one you are using with the rubber block. I swapped mine a couple of years back. Road & Race will beg to differ on that... If you go for the spherical bearing, COVER IT in grease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Dave Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yes, I have heard of a few problems on here, but in my experience it's still a better shift action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them was me! Car left sitting for a while, and the bearing went and rusted on me Was an interesting shift action... Thankfully before I pulled everything out, Phil at R&R told me to just replace the bearing Phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
