T4 gear linkage

[vannin]

I was driving home from work today (in the pouring rain!!) and I could only select 3 and 4th gear not even reverse! Where can I find a diagram of the gear linkages and the bushes?? I need to replace.
At the gearstick end there is a round bush ( a little worn) and at the gearbox end the linkage is surounded by a D shape ring witch is loose whithout any bush is this right?
Thanks Nik

Ok found this pic,

In the bottom left of the pic there is a ball that goes into a socket, mine had fallen out and Im definately missing the bush on the other side.
Can someone tell me which bushes I need to buy befroe I pull it apart, part numbers would be great to.
Thanks Nik

Yours 5 cyl or 4 cyl mate???? 5 cyl is the pic you show. if it is you will need 701711166, 015311544, and 7D0711131. The ball and sockets are a bitch to fit mate, you will need a big bar, and make the bushes and balls soft by leaving them in boiling water for a bit, you will see why when you do the job.

I see you have found the Brickwerks site and asked for info on there.
Someone with the knowledge will be along when they wake up to give you the answer.

Had the same problem couple of years ago in a T4, vannin.
Before I took it to my mechanic (Volkshome) I asked him if I could do it myself, he said most likely not as it gave them a hard time.
He also said they had made a special tool that made the job a bit easier for them.

Ok these are the parts,

The 2 outside pieces are off the gearbox and the 3 bushes cost me $20.
Im sure they are installed this way. The middle bush in the pic was a pita to remove off the linkage and in doing so the pin that goes throught the stock mount was broken but the aftermarket one doesnt have a hole for a pin so does it just slide on?

Yes mine is 5 cylinder petrol.
Thanks for the tip of the boiling water

More pics forgive me Im not a photographer,

This is a pic of the new bush left and the old one on the right.
Although the old one is damaged you can still see that its way larger I.D. than the new one is it spose to be THAT different.
The larger ball went on fairly easy after being soaked in boiling water but the smaller one wont even go close
