Loads of stuff on here about this issue but basically to save searching you need to remove your gear selector unit and disassemble the part shown. In there are 2 nylon bushes (white parts top and bot of arrow, just about see them in the pic) which get full of crap over the years and go tighter on the shaft than normal.
Simply remove and clean out / open up a little.
I bored about 0.15mm out of mine on a lathe but most on here use a drill to fix.

 

Here's a link for how to remove the linkage, might be better ones if you search.

Might also be worth doing the short shift mod whilst your at it which andrewjeffs sells on here.

I will PM you later mate,if you are not confident,we can sort out the problem if you send me the actuator/linkage.
This is becoming a common problem now on meganesports.

 

Take it out send it to Andrew and get the short shift mod at the same time , will be money well spent

 

This is what I done, fanny tastic now!

 

Thanks for the replies - I'll take a look at the unit mentioned. Is it relatively straightforward to remove battery, ecu, air box to get access? Does doing this reset anything I need to be aware of?

 

When you take the ecu out the windows will have to be reset,and your esp light will come on.
Esp will sort itself out with driving.
The windows will reset by holding the button down in the fully closed position for 5 secs.

And make sure you have the radio code.

Look at my fitment guide in the stickys in the `how to ` section,to give you a idea of what to do.

If you remove the actuator,and it doesnt move freel,this is the problem(which it will be).

 

Hi, I'm new to the forum and would like to get in touch with Andrew Jeffs to arrange some work on my gearshift. I have sent a PM to him with no reply...maybe it's finger trouble my end!!!

Is there a phone number that anyone can supply to get in touch with him??

Thanks.

 

Hello mate

I recently fitted one of them to my partners R26 they are much better, I got in touch with him through the RSmegane forum so it might be worth signing up there and getting in touch with him

 

Just bare with him, he will get back to you. If your close it be better travelling to him to get the work done.

 

Thanks for the effort to respond. It appears that he is the guy to do the job it's just difficult trying to get hold of him!! Will sign up with RSmegane forum and try there. Cheers.

 

OK, Thanks for that. Am I being impatient perhaps?? Will cool my jets and wait a couple of days more and see if there is a response. Cheers
