Hi Gianluca
I had problems with my P5 Mk3 4sp with overdrive. The main
problem was the ball part at the bottom of the shift lever being badly worn
and loose. I eventually made one up, not perfect but it did work. While I
was doing this I learned of a chap in New Zealand who had machined new ones
that matched the original part. I no longer remember his name but perhaps
someone else on the net will know who I'm referring to. The most important
and difficult part is lining up the rod-selector that runs forward from the
lever ball to the gear box. Once you have that right everything will work as
it should but it takes a lot of trail and error to get there.
