Jason82 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi have just brought a 2005 mondeo 2.0 tdci. Just wondered if anyone has had any problems with the gearstick not returning to the centre position, this only happens when i take it out of 5th gear. Ford are telling me i need to buy a complete gear stick at £147+vat, is there an alternative?! any help/advice appreciated! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Wondering if its the selector linkage, you could always replace from a scrappie.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintalkin Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 remove the gater on the gear shift you may find a broken return spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason82 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 The spring looks fine, it looks like it gets stuck where the roller on the right is, returns most of the way then gets stuck, have sprayed some lubricant on it but made no difference Sent from my XT890 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason82 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Have managed to get a new gear stick off eBay for £60, its from a mk4 Mondeo st220 , pretty sure its a straight swap for my 2.0 Mondeo TDI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 if its a 6 speed stick on both, they should be alright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
