dependant on model they can still be bought from Citroen, though you might have to look for Xantia linkages.

Cheers Vanny
my bx is a BX16RS 1985 but left hand drive, the little linkage keeps popping off at the back of the gearbox, then you lose first and reverse, only goes over enough to third, second, forth, and fifth,regards Nogbad

I know the problem very well, there is even video evidence on YouTube. Personally i'm going to go down the route of rose joints and then i will never have the problem again.

I believe as a temporary fix there is a way to use a zip tie (cable wrap) to hold the linkage down and stop it sliding off. I've seen it a few times, and one owner i spoke to said he'd had it like that for some 20,000miles withought a problem.
