Stickin gear lever

[Snooky]

When changing gear the lever is not going back to it's neutral position, so have to pull it down or push it bac up depending which way I need to go, have tried to lub all the pivot points but is now getting nearly un workable, any other advice? is there supposed to be springs that hold it in the neutral position and one may have gone? please help, oh and still under warranty

Happened to me, needed a new bush in the gear lever linkage. Not a big job.

As said before sticking bush.

The bush is in the gearlever pedal - you can't squirt WD40 into it -

undo the allen headed bolt holding the lever to the footrest hanger (you don't need to remove the hanger), take it off and pull the bush out and grease it -

re-assemble

Cheers guys will give that a go, and if it keeps happening will get them to replace it

Well, that didn't want to come off, took the hanger off as well to get a better angle on it, still no joy, but more lub and is running a bit better now, will leave it to the experts (yeh right) to break it and replace it rather than me doing it and having to pay for it

Make sure you use a rubber grease 'cause oily ones react with the bush and cause it to deform and become sticky!
