What to Do If the Gear Shift Lever Has Excessive Play?
1 Answers
Excessive play in the gear shift lever is mostly caused by long-term aging and damage to the rubber bushings. Here are different solutions for excessive play in the gear shift lever: 1. If the excessive play is due to a large gap between the shift lever and the surrounding rubber, you can add a nylon sleeve in the original position to reduce the gap to the normal range. 2. If the excessive play is caused by significant wear of the handleball, you should first replace the entire shift lever mechanism and then adjust the length of the shift cable and selector cable. 3. In most cases, excessive play in the shift lever can be effectively resolved by replacing the entire shift mechanism.
