Got my gear linkage back on my bus this eve, what a twat of a job that was!





All new bushes and boots, think i need to overhaul the front shifter gubbins as the throw feels nice and tight but finding neutral is a bit hit and miss. It was shit before i had it off so touch wood its not because i fucked up the linkage adjustment LOL
