YHELP! WHAT IS THIS CALLED AND WHERE DO I GET ONE?

Post by Leorall3933 »

While driving my whole gearbox dissapeared, or so i thought,what happened was that after pulling away at the traffic light i could not select any gears. Mech said its the clutch, 8K LATER STILL NO GEARS.
i then found a bracket atop the shift tower with a hole that goes onto a shaft and the 2 cable linkages connects to this bracket moving the shaft up and down when selecting gears. This Bracket is stripped. And swings around on the shift tower shaft thingy. What is this bracket called and where can i get this?

Doubt whether you'll get that separate from the gearbox at the stealers, but you could try a scrappie/gearbox recon place?

City used spares said they do get them in but dont have stock currently. Might get some in on tuesday they sell them for R350. Maaaaaar hatfield vw said they can order a new one for me at 776 bucks.
Also if anyone in the future have some trouble its called a few names..
(Gear selecter/link gear/cable bracket) part nr is 6Q0 711051.

You probably already got one, but if you haven't, perhaps try Majestic Auto Parts
