Well, the gear lever is like new. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Fitted up the new bushes on the pin, their wasn't much left of the existing ones, no wonder changing gears was so bad.

Had a look at the spherical ball bush and it has signs of cracking so that could be the next project..

Whilst the a Sporty was pulled apart I fitted up my leather shifter boots as the original venal ones were looking a bit shabby and had started to tear.

looks a million bucks and that leather smell <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

gotta love the Sportage, first time I had pulled the center console apart and I was impressed to find all the noise suppressant foam underneath. The Koreans really went to town on this and it is very neat.

Will put up some photos when I down load them off the phone.
