    Hi all,

    Changing gears is a bit sloppy, theres almost as much play when in gear as when in neutral...

    It finds gears and stays in gear fine, it's just quite vague and loose.

    Is there anyway to tighten the gearbox/gearstick up a bit?

    There are usually bushings at various parts of the gear linkage. Just check/replace them.

    I have the same sloppyness on my gear linkage. The rear bush at the rear of the gear box near the gear lever has perished.
    Where can I get a new bush? I am struggling to find a parts diagram or supplier.

    Used to have a White Copen, but I sold it in 2023
    A few years ago I have made a list of parts to replace the linkage beyond the gear lever, but not sure if it's 100% correct.
