Gear box control linkage Volvo 240/260 (M46) (1979-)

A loose gear lever and shifting that feels vague are often the result of worn bushings, dry O-rings and hardened rubber dampers in the control on the M46 box. This category gathers the parts that sit between the lever and the box on the Volvo 240/260 from 1979 onward, where the play in the joints over time causes the lever to wander sideways.

The group includes bushings, O-rings and rubber dampers for the bearing itself, the pull rod that transfers the motion, plus the gear shift lever knob, knob, symbol strip and gear lever gaiter for the upper section. When refurbishing, it is common to replace the whole bushing and O-ring set at the same time, since a crack in the gaiter lets in dirt and accelerates wear. Always check that the version matches the M46 and model year before ordering.
