Gear box control linkage Volvo 240/260 (M459 (1979-)

A wandering gear lever, imprecise gear positions or rattling while shifting can point to worn bushings and ball joints in the shift control on a 240/260 with the manual M45 gearbox. When the rubber has dried out and the pull rod joints develop play, it becomes hard to feel the gear position, so the wear parts in the linkage are a common point to check during a rebuild.

This group includes bushings, ball joints, O-rings and rubber dampers that take up the play, along with the pull rod, gear lever gaiter, gear shift lever knob and knob to freshen up the cabin. Keep in mind that the design can differ between model years – check the fit against your gearbox before replacement, since the 240/260 series received several revisions during its production run.
