Gear selector saddle upgrade

5 minute upgrade - the gear lever saddle clip which isolates/cushions the lever from the gearbox linkage.

I was watching discussions on Rhocar replacing these clips with brass parts to tighten the gear selection. Any wear on the plastic saddle I also understand can affect ability to engage some gears - so seemed like a nice straightforward upgrade.

I really dont want to feel pure metal on metal 'zing' feedback from the gears through the gear lever. Opted for middle ground, a heavy duty glass re-enforced nylon version (red) to replace the original (black) one.

Straightforward pull out and push the new one in - making sure to maintain correct orientation. There is no particularly obvious wear on the original, time will tell if this new one makes a noticable difference.
