Aaarrrgghhhh!
At some point over the weekend someone has replaced my gearstick with a broom handle and a bucket of marbles!
The gear selection was never that great but now it’s almost impossible.
Now very difficult to select any gear including reverse.
Gear selection seems ok with the engine off.
Car is a 1975 3500s.
Guided by this forum’s previous post I have removed the gear lever and the acorn bush is fine.
However, the bush (90622363) that sits in the selector arm is missing.
Also, looking under the car I san see that I am missing one of the two bushes (591353) that slip over the selector rod and the second bush has slipped along the rod and is now out of position.
As I will order the offending items from Wadhams to Australia I want to make sure I get all the parts first time.
I want to check the bush on selector finger and have read the advice on this old post below but I am not quite sure what I am looking for.
I have removed the rubber plug and I can see the selector finger move as I go through the gears but I’m not sure where the bush is meant to be located.

Any advice appreciated.
