ShaunZ 0 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Anyone know what can be done to resolve pls. In all gears there seems to be a lot of play when in gear. Would this be a case of replacing all selector bushes? If so us there a kit that can be purchased? CheersShaun Link to post Share on other sites

Philly-R6 28 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Shaun, It could be you need to reset the gear selection mechanism? Try this: I've never done it... Good luck! ShaunZ 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Darkhorsepower 4 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi Shaun. I have an early VR6 which had a very sloppy gearshift. You don't have to drop the exhaust. I just did mine from inside the car. I bought a kit, changed the bushes and applied fresh grease. I have also shortened the gear shift by 1 inch and a quarter. The car feels new again with very slick gear changes. Link to post Share on other sites
ShaunZ 0 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Ok. Thanks. Where did you get the new bush set from? Link to post Share on other sites
Darkhorsepower 4 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 eBay. You need a vw 02a cable change shifter bush kit. Item no231012964731Oddly enough if you go on VW vortex there is a forum post which tells you exactly how to do it. Link to post Share on other sites
ShaunZ 0 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Can only find the method where it describes doing from underneath. Assuming you can do refurb from inside the car as you stated but how easy is it for a novice and how long should it take?Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

ShaunZ 0 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Not sure I'm confident enough to have a go so may take to a garage to fit. Link to post Share on other sites
