When I fitted mine it was very stiff and I struggled to get 4th gear, so I took it off and with a Dremel sanded the inside ever so slightly, refitted it, fit was still quite tight and hey presto, it works fine now

Interesting - i guess the different results speak to condition of the gearbox and the accuracy (or otherwise) of the linkage adjustment, or perhaps the need to perform some level of re-adjustment (on small scale) with the new bush installed.

In any event my two installs yielded positive results, and in fact in one gearbox has improved the random baulky shift into 2nd.

In summary happy!

Cheers
