Rickpercy87 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I am really struggling to explain the part I need to people selling parts. Could anyone clarify what it is or what it does to make it a little bit easier? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Pics would be better, I've seen the vid, what exactly is your mrs moving? Gear linkage? It's hard to pick out where you are in your bay, and your description is a bit vague, but it looks like you're filming over the back end of your gearbox.

Rickpercy87 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yea she is just moving the gear stick around. Feels like jelly. The bonnet is up and I am looking from above towards the rear of the engine pretty much dead centre. The gear linkage is connected to it. I am sure that moving part is supposed to be bolted in securely. 2 bolts are missing and one sheared off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get onto it tomorrow morning but I will get underneath the car as it's easier to see. See the above post I made for more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Well if you can replaced the 2 bolts you should be ok at a guess, for now anyways, sounds as the the linkage bracket itself has worked itself loose, but bizarre but there we go.

Sam Howell Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Mine did the exact same, They never sit straight so they are always under a bit of tension. I will look to see if I have a receipt and a part number as it was only last month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't bolt it back in as its actually broken underneath Edited March 31, 2013 by Rickpercy87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen33 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 mine snapped off when i had my gearbox out, pretty easy to change, 13 quid for the bracket from vwMight be best to buy the 4 bushes as when i bought the bracket i didnt realise/think they had any but i just knocked them out the orignal one. one lever is bolter to selector shaft the other is a ball socket, pops out easy then a circlip on each good news for me though just got the box in 4 days ago... nice to hear that its on its way out!

I think it's why I can't select 4th Hopefully it can be modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
