Hi Chaps, thanks for the add to the Guru group of landy's, this problem is worse in the summer and after towing for a while. I'm hoping its just the gear linkage bushes are worn. I changed the clutch ~ 80 K ago its not slipping or dragging. Any ideas would be grateful. Cheers.

Have you had a look at the slave cylinder bracket? They are prone to flexing and bending and sometimes crack

I've not checked that out recently, but I did notice the poor quality bracket when I changed the clutch. I'll take a closer look and maybe make a beefier replacement unless its designed to flex for alignment.
