Does anyone know how much of a pain it is to remove the gear selector shaft with the weights on? Ours suffers quite badly from these weights vibrating at about 1500rpm, there's a bulletin I believe that says to cut the larger weight in half to stop the vibration..

Its a bit a job to see in there exactly how its held on, I can only think it will be a roll pin or similar, but doesn't look very friendly.. Just wondered if anyone's done it and has any tips..

I did stuff rag all around it to stop it vibrating, and sitting on the drive in neutral the difference was amazing, so quiet!! So I really do need to get it done.. and off the car, don't fancy getting the angle grinder fired up in there!!

Cheers guys..
 
as I have no idea what your on about

passenger side of engine bay .. towards the back .. on the gearbox
looks like a " T " .. round shaft .. flattened top .. ..
( on td4 manual .. no idea about the other engines )

Spot on, probably could have been clearer if I'm honest.

Any experience anyone??

according to the haynes .. a roll pin holds it together ..

( edit .. scratch from-under-vehicle idea ..
( just been under .. looks difficult from that angle as well
