Done some aggressive driving today and the gearbox linkage broke, getting me stuck in 4th gear. Had to drive for about 10 miles before reaching a garage. Was to far from home to drive so won't be doing the repair this time. Last time it failed was a year and a half ago and about 13000 miles. This is far to short of life for this cable. True my clutch is quite heavy making gear changes harder which puts more stress on the cables. But still this not good even compared to my old mk1 which also had heavy clutch, but no linkage cables. So what you expert think is the cable really weak part or is it just my driving style?
