Berling van gear linkage

[CitroJim]

Does replacing the bits make it a floppy one less floppy? Or do "they all do that sir"? I can't remember what the linkage was like on my 98 model 1.9D new, it's so long ago..

On the 205GTi which used an almost identical setup, the major cause of floppiness was the bolt that secures Item 5 to the subframe coming loose and wobbling all over the place. Play in the clevis and its bushes under the gearstick will cause a bit of vaugeness too. Nothing else seems to wear much, even the rubber ball...
