If I can figure out how to resize and upload photos I will show you, but I’ve found the problem - at the bottom of the gear lever there is a nylon bush with a spherical bearing in it which connects to the shift rod - this bush has disintegrated hence the vague change - just got to find a couple now - there’s one at either end of the rod.
The eight rubber bushes are at the end of their lives too so will be replaced.
