Guys
Just got my 240 home, one of the issues on it is the strength it takes to get the lever into the 5th/Reverse plane on the change. I don't think it is a selector issue, it seems to be that the spring that you have to push against is very strong, possibly been up rated at some point to erase the chance of selecting R on a snappy 3 rd to 4th change maybe.
Looking at the Haynes manual I see there is a Plug and plunger at the gear lever end of the change, NR 5 in the pic below
My question is what are the two dark objects between it and the plunger, two springs? Or something else. And secondly could I unscrew the plug with the box still in the car and bits not drop into the nether regions of the box ??
Cheers
Mike
