Take it out and check if the plastic bush + spring is present on the end of the lever - items 23 & 24. http://www.moss-europe.co.uk/Shop/ViewP ... exID=17075 Could also be general g/box wear - in particular worn selector forks.

As Roy suggests, but also what gearbox and gear lever do you have? The 948 lever appears to fit the 1098 box OK, but is actually too short and creates a lot of free play.

948 box has a smooth casing - the 1098 boxes have a ribbed casing, and a cut away in the bell housing to help clear the steering rack.
