Title: Gear lever Rattles in 3rd gear Post by: graham_fuller on June 05, 2011, 04:41:19 PM Hi Guys,
Any suggestions as to what may cause this to happen? If i lift the gear lever a fraction it stops, seems like maybe its resting down just a little too far. Cheers, Graham Title: Re: Gear lever Rattles in 3rd gear Post by: FCGos on June 05, 2011, 07:08:22 PM Graham
If this has just started happening I would suggest checking the gearbox mounts to see if they have become soft or are torn. Cheers Wayne Title: Re: Gear lever Rattles in 3rd gear Post by: graham_fuller on June 14, 2011, 11:30:10 PM Hi Guys,
Any other suggestions on this issue? I have changed the selector lever rubbers. And still it rattles. Is there a stop inside the steering column that positions the lowest point at which it sits?

Many years ago (in my first FC) I had the shifter tube break because of a worn mount.

Check the upper bracket on the shifter tube where the shifter goes onto the column. This is the main spot where they break. They crack first.

I will check.

If I recall there are felt bushes around the steering shaft and I am wondering if they are in the correct position on the shaft as mine was rebuilt during the resto and rattled ever since.
