Notchy gear action

The gear lever action on mine is like moving a stick in a bucket of broken spanners. There's also a bit of free play exacerbated by a skightly longer gear knob.
Is there anything I can do about it?

Think thats how they are as mine is the same on my 2010 Aygo.

Pretty normal really

Mines the same, Still getting used to it. Would have thought this would be a money spinner if someone could make it better. After market kit ?

my 11 reg is fairly decent , nothing to complain about , maybe not mega race car precise but seems to work and feel normal

I noticed over the 10 years I owned my 2008 model that the gear lever slowly became more 'wobbly' - I seem to remember that there's some kind of bearing arrangement at the base of the actual lever which can wear?

the plastic ball at the base can get worn over time

On the Bargain Racement series they firmed it up with a couple of locking screws. Part 1 IIRC.

Can you get a new ball ?

I beleive you can order them from a main dealer, might come with the stick though, I've never tried.

Low mileage breaker might be a better bet
