As in topic my shift lever knob is kinda loose. When Im changing gears its moving left or right so Im just wondering is there a way to tide it up somehow

[eye30]

Do you mean the stalk is loose or the round bit at the end?

If round bit then doesn't that just screw tight.

If the stalk then i would think it would be a warranty repair as it will relate to the linkages under the facia and engine compartment.

It its this silver knob on shift lever end where you have got 1,2,3,4,5,6,r its just moving left and right in my hand when Im changing gears ;. its annoying because when Im changing on reverse its just move to left for example and twisting my hand

[Aparat]

so basically whole lever moves 90 degrees each side and this leather cover bit preventing it going any further ;/ 

[Aparat]

just try moving it and let me know if its loose on your car if its not Ill go to the service garage

[eye30]

I think that is something to do with the linkage below the facia.

It will have to be removed or i wonder if you can get to it underneath.

[Aparat]

to be honest Im not going to touch anything underneath just dont know what to do anyway. do you think its warranty job?

[eye30]

I would say Yes but get it booked in so they can check it out in the workshop.

I had similar when i had my Accent and it was the linkage which required to be tightened that's why i asked if it was the stick or the knob.

Right ok Ill call service department on monday thank you

No probs..

Let us know how you get on.

By the way, do you have a problem getting it to go into gear as if there is a block but if you up the revs a bit it then slips in?

Ill let you know and no I don't have a problem with getting into gear ( but tbh if Ill think about it I do have this problem every now and then )  its just this lever movement its just twisting to left and right

[Aparat]

just been in car and its twisting from the top up to where arrow is 

 in there it seems to be connection or something and its just sliding there

I'm guessing there is a locking screw that has come loose (I doubt it's the linkages)

But I have been known to be wrong

Yes I guess so, if you can't see and access the screw yourself

Mrs Gonz's 95 SEAT Cordoba has the same problem and I've not been able to determine what's gone wrong. Does anyone have an insight regarding this car? Is there a similar locking screw required somewhere?

[Dazzler]

If we had your precise location Gonz, someone might be able to slip around for a look..
