Hi guys. I'm current laying face up under the mini. How tight should the joint from the rod selector tothe gear box be? Should the roll pins grip the outside collor or should there be movement?

Mitsi Evo 7, 911, Cossie. & all the chavs ...... won no problem

there should be movement, the sellock pin holds fast on the outside of the of the link boss and runs free ish in the middle

Mine seems to be the other way round. Loose on the outside boss and tight on the in. Roll pins need replacing.
I'm having trouble getting reverse and I'm wondering if this is the cause.

KAD say not, but I had the issue and I have heard of others.
In my opinion the grooves for the circlips are not cut deep enough so once the stick is chrome plated the circlips don't sit into the grooves properly an move too easily.

To be fair I returned mine to KAD and they sorted it and returned the stick.

Arrr this explains why my mate at KAD said just send it back and they'll send out a replacement. Hopfuly it will all get shorted this week. Mot in a few weeks, going in gear I think would be an advantage.

Yeh, isn't your missus, your mother, or your neighbours getting worried that there are a pair of legs sticking out from under a Mini, without movement, for 4 days?

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...
