    confused Gear Stick loose

    Hello all , after trawling the site for info i have come up with a blank !
    My gear stick has a little play in it & i see some people have posted the issue but without really getting a resolve , so ive take a few clear pictures as to try and determine what i should be looking for in terms of a "clip" to secure or hold the ball joint better .

    Any help or advice would really be great as from what ive read doesn't really make any sense to what im looking at below.

    Many thanks all in advance

    You need to undo those screws,

    the last picture on the right, about 40% up, that big round grey bit, with the white bit going into the center of it, controls left right movement, and has that tubey bit over it which can break and fall off.

    but you need to undo the 4 big torx screws to get at it, just keep an eye on how it goes together as it comes apart lol (it's not as bad as it looks)

    It's not the grey part itself, but the white bit which pokes into it which has the 'clip' on, but it's more like a sort of bush around the outside. there's another thread about it somewhere, i'll have a look

    Looks ok tbh, when you wiggle it, does it seem like there's much play in there ?

    What sort of problem is it you're having ? is it loose side to side, or up down etc ?

    play side to side looks to be the issue .. when gear engaged travel side to side to me feels excessive probably 1 cm either way.
    I suspected looking at the above piccy that the white end should have something at the end ..
    the piccy on the right was when lever was moved to one side .. the grey thingy more to the end of the white thingy ... i get the idea that if there was something over the end of the white thingy it would limit the sideways movement of the grey thingy ...
    (loving the tec speak)

    cheers
