I'm not entirely sure what you mean so a pic will help.

To add your pic, go to quick reply at bottom and then go to 'more reply options'. In there you can upload it.

I'm assuming he's refering to the coloured insert clips in my above post as they are red orange in colour

Should I try adjust these considering I only messd with the one on the front of the gearbox like the one in my pic, thanks for the replys lads

Hi, sorry to hijack this post... Mine has issues with 2nd and 4th would this be the same reason? I have to really try hard sometimes to get the gears mentioned, sometimes it wont go in then it will try to grind and sometimes when i think the gear is selected it pops out...

It's driving me mad!!

I hope some one can shed more light on your issue , things seem a bit dead on this forum, and if your cars popping out of gear I think it could be other issues to what I'm having, can any one help us a bit more???

This is the adjustment procedure from the Haynes manual.
