Evening

My diesel ZS with 113,000 miles has started to make quite a loud rattle from the gear stick area. I have removed the trim and the two rubber boots and seen that there is a small amount of play between the ball on the gear stick and the bush it sits in.

Do you think this is what is causing the sound? (Particularly loud in 4th gear yet silent in 5th).

Also would replacing this part cure the problem do you think? http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-BNP9018 (part 12 on this diagram: http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/ImagePop...x?i=GRID003582)

Finally, when removing the old bush can it be done from inside the car or will i have to dismantle the whole lot from underneath?

Any help would be really appreciated, cheers.
