Gear box control linkage Volvo 240/260 (M45) (-1978)

Sloppy or imprecise shifting with rattle in the lever can often point to worn bushings and linkage in the gear shift control. This category gathers the wear parts around the control on Volvo 240/260 with the early M45 gearbox up to 1978, where the years and gearbox variant determine which parts fit.

The group includes rubber bushings and bushings that take up the play in the linkage, catch and washer, gear lever gaiter that keeps dirt away from the control, plus o-rings, seals and hexagon screws for the assembly. During a rebuild, the rubber bushings in particular are a typical check point – they harden and crack over the years and give the classic feeling of a loose shift.
