Yeah, had a look, the gear stick moves the rod immediately and it doesnt feel right when you cross the gate, feels like the gate is off to an angle.
Linkage has only done 50k which to be fair is nothing for parts these days, they are designed to last 100k.
So diagnosis is box, but going to try a linkage as a cheaper option, if it fixes it then he pays for it, if it doesnt he dont. Cant be fairer than that.

I know how you feel mate, but I just upgraded to the LSD box from Goldie. My old box had done 100k though.

gonna try the linkage first if that doesnt solve it im gonna save up the cash i need and get G do it for me instead of skinting myself for it
makes sense to me really its not like the car isn't driveable just sometimes gear changes can be a bit tough

Good on George giving you the cheapest option first, sounds like a win, win plan.
Hope you get away with just the linkage.
Can this be sorted with the UJ mod, seems quite a bit of work, but if you are handy with the spanners looks good.
