Ducato gearshift X250

[Jake Royd]

2014 standard 6 speed.
Just started not springing back to the 3rd/4th plane.
I have to just gently guide it.
Tried lubricating at the top and bottom of the linkage, no difference.
Anybody got any quick diagnosis and fix?
Note, gears shifting normally apart from this.
TIA

Normally means new cables required. A Friend had the same problem spent ages trying everything without any luck but perfect after getting new cables fitted.

Just for info what's the mileage?

It' done about 30000 but it's used as a community bus do lots of gear shifts per mile.
If it's the cable say worn through the sleeve I would be surprised but it's plausible.

The one on my MH is also 11 years old (early x250) with 26000 miles and is perfect.
Hmm
