If its for the Clubman GT then it isn't the right one.
The GT uses the remote type gear change not the rod change type.

The main parts that wear are the rod eye extension, slot on the side and the ball on the bottom of the gear lever. Is it jumping out of gear? Rattling? or Sloppy?
My car was doing all 3 and I just fitted a quick shift. All issues now fixed. Some good info here - http://www.moke.com.au/in-the-garage/re ... gearchange

The only thing I know you cant get is the rubber boot that goes on the end of the box where the rod comes out its in the mini king parts book john at mko says you can use some other rubber boot off a different part but

I grabbed a couple of his decent ones off the second hand stock he had in a pallet cage after one of the mitg runs when he was still at narellen

He still has the pallet with them at mulgrave

The ebay ad pic has no rubber boot on there ones

Type in "leyland mini rod box shifter units for sale" and see whether that is a better place to get what you are looking for. Just a thought.
