Sloppy gear stick

Evening everybody.

The gearstick on my Ranger (2013, 6 speed 3.2l) mk4 (i think) has got a lot of slack / play in it. All drives fine etc but i think that the bushing has gone on it. Does anybody where i can get a replacement from? Ford told me that there are no spares or repair kits available but that i can have a whole new assembly for £400!!!

All the internet throws up is loads of videos of how to replace it and links to American shops to buy a rebuild kit. They're only $30 over there and seem as common of muck which makes it all the more annoying that I'm getting nowhere over here.

Any help appreciated  

Cheers, 

 

Terry
