Just had my Pug1Off linkages through, they're not as pretty as some other ones you can get from the likes of Constella or Kam Racing, the M8 threaded bar hasn't been machined in the middle but the important bits, the cups, clips and locking nuts all look good so they'll be going on tomorrow most likely!

Awesome guide, my roll pin came out last night and the control arm fell off meaning I had to drive home with only 3rd and 4th gear!
Managed to stick a bolt through to hold it for now but I am seriously considering following this guide, £100 ish to stop the gear stick wobble is worthit!!

Agreed, either a sticky or at least part of the Saxo Brakes, suspension and transmission FAQ's sticky

so, just to bump this up
i changed the roll pin and used a drilled out washer as a spacer
how thick should it be? my washer was a standard washer thickness, whereas the one in the pic looks about twice the thickness??
its taken away the play, but not completely. would i be better off if i did it again and used 2 washers instead of 1, so to make it thicker?

If you can get the roll pin through with two washers then go for it. Are you sure the play is with the control arm and not within the box itself?

im not sure, but i changed the control arm first (the one with the big nylon ball) as mine was worn alot, didnt make much of a difference though 
changing the pin made a big difference though
cheers, ill try another washer. Do you think for the sake of 30p i better get another roll pin?

I meant the control arm which attaches to the gearbox, i.e what the roll pin goes through.
I would get a new pin, a few people on here have said it has made a difference.

the simple way to remove all the wobble from the arm on back of gearbox where the roll pin is fitted is to just hit the arm in the cnter with the mig welder -that arm never needs removing even when rebuilding gearbox and i have never seen leakge from that seal as its so highi n the gearbox
15seconds with the mig and problem gone forever
