Gear return like stirring cement

Worse than ever to the extent that I am missing gears badly now.

Easy to tighten up the cables ?

should be straightforward. Have you uprated the linkage with the Eliseparts one?

Probably the bell crank pivot bolt loose. Under the back of the car drop the undertrays and locate the gear linkage. There is a triangular bell crank that attaches to the gearbox selector and one of the cables. This should rotate easily. If it wobbles about there is your problem, get someone to change gear while you watch and see if anything is sloppy or worn. If it's loose your in luck, retighten and it's fixed. More likely the bush is damaged and needs replacing. Tigthen it up for a temp fix and get an uprated linkage kit form geary. Don't do it up too tight as you won't be able to change gear at all!
