I have just ordered this boot from Rimmers as mine were knackered, so will see what turns up and advise.

Thanks for the advice. I have ordered 2 of them. The MS kit arrived today :) Hopefully this will give me a big improvement.

They are available from Portland but are expensive.

The Mike Satur Bell crank is probably the better(cheaper) option.

thanks for that. Just to make sure, here is pic I just took from under car. So besides that bell crank assembly and rubber parts, do i need to change anything else? Problem is that my 2nd and reverse gear dont go in at all, and 4th struggles also. So currently driving with 3-gear box :lol:

That all looks in pretty good condition , tbh. :yesnod:

Have you tried adjusting the ends.(see post above)
It just sounds as if your cables have stretched slightly, and screwing the ends in a couple of turns may solve all your problems.:shrug:

Ah! Didn't spot that. :nonod:
I think it was Dieter(I'll check) who took the joints off and remade them replacing the damaged rubber with silicone rubber.

...but to answer your question, you just need the Mike Satur bellcrank. Your rubber boots look in good condition.(Unless I can't see the damage!:lol:)

yep but if the rubbers cost between 4-5€ i'm glad to order them just in case, because it's impossible to get any parts from finland to mg and don't want to wait for another week if there is some problem with them.
