gear leaver bushings for a manual
having the usual problems with getting first and second... where can i buy the bushes from and ant part numbers

1992 2.3 manual 5 speed

still available from volvo dealer

if you're having problems specifically with 1st and 2nd, check your reverse lockout is correctly adjusted.

That was my first thought, followed by clutch not releasing fully.

I've never had any play in gear levers to cause engagement problems, even with over 400,000 miles.

Clutch to replace?

Morning all, is the reverse lockout the nylon sort of L shaped bush that rest against the plate?..The only other one i could see was the ball bush that sits in the selector housing..Slugg. does your lever have a lot of play..ie..wobbles around..Mine has done this for ages and i have learned to live with it but does on occasion make shifting difficult..would like to get it sorted if not too much of a hassle..Still recovering from the cps change..hj.

As circled- adjuster bracket as finger.
The clearance details are listed in the manual 0.02-0.06
Hope it helps
Bob.

Thanks bob..top man!

if i pop up the reverse engage 'pull' its fine, so i think i will do the adjust thing pictured above.
yep lots of play but clutch feels good.
