Gear oil leak. Help?

[Alan_M]

Been struggling with 1st and 2nd gears when the car is cold recently, and its been getting worse. Im pretty certain its because my gear oil is leaking.

Ive had a look and ive found what i think it might be. Saw some oil on this part near the gear linkages, attached to the gearbox.
It moves in and out slightly, hopefully illustrated by my photos.

Question is, Whats this part called, is it where my leak is, and can i fix it?

Cheers.

Just found an image someone posted of their saxo. They made a washer for it themselves. Said it happens because of wear over time. So i imagine id have to replace this. No idea how though.

Pretty sure there is a lip seal behind the arm. Real pain in the arse to remove too. You have to knock out the pin (probably have to drill it out), take off arm, clean up shaft before replacing seal. I had that leak on my 306 1.4, but someone had been there before me and replaced pin with a nut & bolt so was a piece of piss. Refitted with a roll pin afterwards to stop the sloppy gearchange.

What gearbox oil are you using?
