Scott, if you can't find a better picture either in Bentley or in a spare
parts catalog, go to <http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/herald/16e.htx>. This
will give you a fairly good idea of what parts are there.
Held down by the bayonet-fixed "cap" are the various springs and nylon
bits that basically keep the gear lever in place. I suspect that what is
badly worn or even disintegrated on your GT6 is the dished nylon washer up
near the top and/or the half-a-nutshell-shaped nylon bit at the bottom.
What you need is Triumph p/n 519770, the gearbox bush lever kit or
"anti-rattle" kit. 99.9% of the time, this kit will take care of all your
shifter problems.
