Recently my gearbox started to drop off the plastic sideways shifting rod, bought new plastic part, and it happened again. After removing the part I found out it was littlebit weared out, check picture. I even needed to use vice to get the plastic rod on replacement part.

Lucky I got replacement part from my spare gearbox, which is not totally fresh as well. Came out if you don't replace ball bushing on the end of vertical shifting rod, not only it will have a lot of freeplay, but it will also wear out the inner of this part. Looks like tooth cavity, littlebit more and there would be two actual holes.

Replacement part was not perfect as well, but at least in much more better condition.

Soon my Lupo will reach its 200 000th mile and it was not well maintained before.
