gear change became very sloppy so decided to have a look today as was really struggleing to get 1st. topped up gearbox oil which was missing about half a litre found a leak which ive ordered a new seal for. then i adjusted the gear linkage which although improved it was still struggleing to get 1st. had another look and the bushes on the joint where the rod goes into the gearbox. http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=522108 - (6th picture down) are worn and the pin that goes through is split.
anyone know the part number and where i can get a new replacement?
came up with a temporary fix for this which was to put a cable tie through the middle of the pin so it goes around the whole thing and tighten it up. this worked a treat and feels loads better and selects all gears easily but i obviously want to replace it as soon as possible. thanks in advance

As said, have a look on opeloem.com to find the part number. Then I'd give AutoVaux a call as even if they don't have the item in stock they should be able to order it for you. Very good customer service and fast delivery.
