Introduction: Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault Trafic, Nissan Primastar Gear Shift Selector Linkage Cable Repair Fix Instruction Guide

Gear selection difficult? Unable to select a gear? Gear linkage hanging off? Gear stick moves up and down but doesn’t go in to gear?

The gear selector cable bush end has worn and popped off of the ball joint on your gear box.

The nylon bush on the end of the selector cable wears over time and simply pops off. The nylon material is very soft; as it operates on a metal ball joint it wears quickly and causes this fault. The vehicle manufacturer’s solution to this issue is to replace the gear selector cable (at great cost), this however will wear in the same way as the original and the issue will reoccur
