Gear box cables?

sloppy gear lever ? yes on LDV Maxus van 2006 vans this does happen , i have drained gearbox oil and refilled it with correct oil, tightened both drain and fill plugs or bolts to the settings in the service book, took for drive today gears still a tad awkward to change , so next on list for today is to change the gearbox detent springs for new ones, and also lubricate all the gear shift parts on the top of the gearbox in the engine bay passenger side, at the back behind the big air box pipe ,using wd40 and then oil which i will run from the top of the gearbox cables inside the cabin behind the gear shift lever , and see what difference it makes , will report back on Wednesday this week, july 6th 2025 by the way so you know it is current and not old

No they arent , what i do know is this - on the 2005-06 ldv maxus swb van, 2.5 crd , the gear cables have a RED marker on One cable and a Yellow marker on the 2nd cable ,
one is for left to right movement, the other is for forward and backward movement , in other words, one is for selecting gear , the other is for engaging gears , the diagram you need can be found by getting the CD of the workbook service manual for the ldv maxus van 2005-2009 cost £20
