Ill be dealing with him in future.
Thanks for that.
The top half of the split bush comes already on the new gear stick complete with rubber boot.
EX Japan $400.00.
Then after i pulled it all apart and did a measure up i find a circlip that just sits on top of the top half bush does nothing but sit there as a spacer.
Its 2mm thick and the gap is 4mm.
So im off to make a spacer up now for it 4mm thick this will hold the top half bush down onto the bottom half which sits on a spring. right now all assembled it has 2mm play in it. Up and down.
This is only a quick fix as im convinced the selectors are all worn out, except reverse.
This is what happens when you rest your hand on the gear stick. Im told.
All forward gear selectors rub out and create slop.
Im learning the hard way about the patrol.
Ball park figure for a gear box heavy duty clutch and titan exhaust system plus what he has already done 6K.

$400 bucks fer a gearstick!!!!!!
I'd be making something to do the job, thats a bit steep.
Cheers, the ferret.

x2 very good customer service

My "new" Patrol seems to have the same problem, i was planning to pull the gear stick out today to have a lookski, will shop around I think b4 making the purchase, thanx for the heads up

pull out the gearstick, to have a look played around with it to see if the bushes were worn and to get the right size, popped it back in the problem with 3rd gear trying to pop out has gone, order the new parts off ebay for $50 , now just got to wait for them to turn up at my door
