Stiff gear change

[jjad]

The gear change on our 1990 GTL seems a bit stiff sometimes. It feels easier when there is no tension on the washer that the rod goes through above the rocker cover (like on Petak's photo here https://www.renault4.co.uk/forum/attachments/p1020145-jpg.13421/), so perhaps some lubrication is needed? (I'm hoping it's nothing more serious.) Can anyone advise what lubricant should be used on the gear level mechanism?

Thanks

Just a spray with WD40 or similar to clean the rod where it passes through the bush, and then a light spray with same to lubricate it. Hope this works Jonathan.

Thanks Brian, I'll give that a go. Hopefully it will make it easier to change gear!

All the best, Jonathan
