    I have noticed that my gear lever is loose.
    I'm attaching the video to show exactly what I mean.



    My question to all of you experts is:

    Do I simply undo the bolt, push the lever tight and do the bolt again in front of my house?
    or
    Is this something I should take to a garage/service?

    I would like to be able to fix little things myself, but I'm not an expert in judging what makes things little or not...:D

    can't do any harm to see if that would work as a solution! :)

    Nip it up - check torque settings and should be ok

    And make sure that all the pivot points are well greased.

    Spacer required ? The Bolt locates on the actuator shaft in a stepped slot ! IdI try a fibre/copper washer as these would give and use a good grease.
