Has any one come up against this before?
Went to replace gear change cables on 2010 Doblo 1.6 Maxi van with six speed gearbox. Laid old part and new together and appeared identical, however when trying to press last swivel /ball joint together no joy.
On closer inspection all the other three ball joints, the two at gear lever end and the one side to side/gate end at gearbox are all 10mm balls, the one that throws forward and back (i.e. 1st to 2nd gear) is a 13 mm ball joint.
Supplier says only one part number listed 55230984.
My thought is if stronger larger ball fitted for Maxi (1tonne) van at gearbox surely the same upgrade would be needed at the gear stick end.
Vehicle is original with no signs of modification.
