And to replace the gear selector its handy to have a Alternator holding tool, a 30mm Socket and a Torque Wrench capable of going up to 190nM

Usually the cause, incorrect adjustment. Also tight linkage and splinted lever position.

I'd see a doctor about that Phil. :lol:

Bloody Blackberry and fit fangers. :D Splined lever. Lol

No i didnt. so il whip it off again just to check,I have a Haynes,Will the method be detailed in there?
Again thanks for your help Kev.

Yes Brian the Haynes manual covers it quite well, nice pic of centreing using a ruler and the use of scribed lines to check up and down movement is equal

Think I might be having a do with this too. Bugger.

Well worth getting the problem sorted, it certainly improved my lap times once I got it fixed

Do you have to take the clutch out too? The Haynes manual suggests that.

Not for the Part I changed, just the left hand engine casing and the Alternator
