Exclamation WF Festiva gear linkage and exhaust

Hi everyone and happy new year.

I just bought a cheap 1.3 WF Festiva Trio without power steering and a few issues.

Is gutless so just purchased a set of Pacemakers. Will there be any benefit without a bigger diameter exhaust? Also can the catalytic converter be removed with just bolts?

The other thing that irritates me is the gear shift is extremely loose and sloppy, with heaps of lateral movement in gear. Is there something I can tighten? or do I need to replace bushes etc?

The steering is very heavy but I guess that's just to be expected, unless there's another part that wears out here and makes steering effort hard? I know it needs a wheel balance since it vibrates on the freeway.

Thanks and i am honoured to be part of the festiva club (not really)
