Triumph gearchange linkage

I am sure that you guys know this, but while access is good its worth fitting a new bush kit to the gear linkage. I have just fitted one to my Burlington Arrow and a160 miles later its now run in. The gearbox has gone from being a grumpy slop box to a delightfully positive and sporty action. Well worth the £9 ish.
:biggrin1:
Canleys seems to have more bits than Rimmers, but I think it a general kit for all models as I had a few bits left over. Thanks Mark for sorting that one out!

Yep, it's always worth checking Canley's as their prices can be more than 50% cheaper for like-for-like parts. Rimmers website is much more user friendly though. With Canley's it's often hit and miss whether you find the part you're looking for while Rimmers displays a nice pictorial list that means you can often spot additional bits you didn't realise you needed.

And thanks for the tip about the gear linkage bushes, will be investigating my gearchange once I've got the clutch working... :icon_neutral:
