Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the worn or damaged ball head on the existing gearshift linkage.
- Carefully disconnect the linkage from the transmission and shifter.
- Remove the old ball head, noting its orientation and any securing mechanisms.
- Install the new Febi 24987 Ball Head, ensuring the M10 x 1.5 external thread and M12 x 1 internal thread are properly aligned and secured.
- If applicable, use the included lock nut to fasten the component securely.
- Reconnect the linkage to the transmission and shifter.
- Test gear engagement to ensure smooth operation.
Compatibility:
This ball head is specifically designed for gearshift linkage systems. Verify that your vehicle's parts catalog or service manual confirms the use of Febi part number 24987 or equivalent specifications (thread sizes, length, vehicle-side placement).
Care:
As an internal component of the gearshift linkage, this ball head requires minimal direct care. However, maintaining the cleanliness of the overall linkage system and ensuring proper lubrication of associated moving parts will contribute to its longevity. Periodic inspection for signs of wear or damage during other maintenance is recommended.
