Hi, the gearshift half-axle collides with the gearbox. No noises, i am about to replace the gearbox. What can be the problem? I included two photos about what collides with the gearbox and where. this car is a coupe 20v n/a.

check for worn bearings/gear in area where arrow is, also looks like bearing or whatever is in that area may have been spinning and worn larger than opposite side. we have limited information on these cars as they have only recently returned to the US.
