Hi there, as said above by Abel, I'd check your lube first, mostly because it's a good thing to do anyway and you'll know it's done in the future. Before you ever drain the oil on one of these, check that you can get the filler plug out so you can put some nice new stuff in . But check first. I have come across gearboxes with absolutely no oil in at all and funnily enough they were both absolute swines to undo the filler. Sometimes you'll also find that some owners have gear selection issues but instead of just sorting out the problem and checking any adjustments and clutch adjustments etc, they think because it won't change gear properly, it needs a new sexy gearstick which is usually the last thing it needs. So then you have a further complication and someone starts adjusting the plate then no one knows what the hell is going on. Very few people just change their gearstick for the looks, generally it follows poor selection which starts this nasty little nature trail. :shock:
Apart from me that is, I've got the Ozziedog speedmonster MK 11 chromed beautifully shifter installed in my van and it is dream
