A gearbox is one of the most important parts of any vehicle. It is responsible for changing the transmission speed in the wheels when the clutch is pressed and the flywheel is disengaged from the engine. A malfunctioning gearbox means a malfunctioning vehicle because it will not be able to transfer any power from the engine to the wheels and the driver will not be able to drive. Gearbox linkages are the parts that connect the gearstick to the rest of the transmission system. Broken ones usually take the form of a difficulty in finding the gears with the gearstick, so drivers are advised to consult a mechanic if they feel a stickiness in the gearstick itself – it could be that the linkage needs replacing altogether.
