A key component of the gear shift mechanism, the 445/05501 upper lever selector (stick element) by GX-AFTER. This component is mounted in the base of the gear shift stick inside the operator's cab. It is responsible for precisely transferring the operator's hand movements to the transmission selector cables or rods. It fits a wide range of JCB machines, including 3CX/4CX backhoe loaders, telehandlers, and Fastrac tractors.

The list above is for reference. It is crucial to verify the part number 445/05501 on your old component.
When replacing this selector, we also recommend inspecting the lower selector element, slide bushings, and the gear shift cables, which can also cause imprecise operation.
Failure or breakage of the gear selector leads to a complete inability to shift gears. This can cause the machine to be stuck in gear (e.g., on a railway crossing) or in neutral (e.g., on a slope), creating a serious safety hazard and risk of an accident.
The 445/05501 selector is the upper part of the gear stick mechanism, located in the cab (usually under the rubber gaiter and console). It translates the lever's movements (forward-back and left-right) to the cables or rods that physically shift the gears in the transmission. It is the key link between the operator and the gearbox.

No, this is the upper selector mechanism (element) located in the base of the stick. The metal stick itself and the knob are usually separate parts.
Yes, this is the most likely cause. Excessive lever play ("slop") is usually caused by wear on this selector component and its associated bushings at the base.
This part relates to the manual gear shift stick. It fits many JCB machines (3CX, 4CX, Loaders) regardless of the transmission type, as long as they use a mechanical selector with this part number. It should be distinguished from electrical (joystick) shifters.
