I take it the car is still up in the air while you sort driveshafts? Sometimes you need a good run with load on the system to get it to settle. I think it took mine a week as a bubble got caught in the heater matrix. It took a few good pulls to get it shifted and the AC would alternate from...

I am talking about under the gearstick, its made of lots of bits and pieces

In a perfect world you would sack off the rubber pivot for a Yanoo Stiff Shift kit (which I also really rate) but unfortunately he passed away. There seem to be aftermarket shifters with spherical bearings (that are not PMS) but no idea what they are like

Repair kit no: 7701464111. This will get you all of bits to sort the pivot/bush, lots on Ebay and Autodoc: There is then a set of bushes at the end that attach to the linkage: 7700732903 But I would suggest upgrading these to brass if you are going to the effort of taking it all apart, I...

Stalk works fine (minus the roller at the back) but I had to desolder all of the microswitches. There is some multiplex wizardry, all the switches share lots of I/Os. Continuity diagram: The dog's dinner... but as a V1 it works. I was really impatient and did it the dumb way. + = Speed Up -...

@Brigsy personally I don't mind it! I did end up making an audio stalk into a CC controller, maybe Flexi is the next step

Looks fiddly but should be doable, reinforce with a dab of black silicon (if it were me). I thought about doing this but couldn't work out a way that didn't involve a load of loose wire behind the wheel 🤔
