Mk2 Gearshift Allignment SORTED
Thankfully the board is back...
Looking for some assistance. I decided to replace the bushes and Gearbox Linkages on my Gear Shift with the kit avail from VW and Golfwagen as the originals where looking a bit worn.
It really is unbelievable the difference a few pieces of rubber make. There is no slack on the shift, Forward and back or side to side.
I Should have done it a long time ago.
But I need assistance in lining up the gearshift again. I have done it about 20 times now and cant get it perfectly.
After tightening the 13mm Bolt and Nut on the Shaft, Some times I cant find 5th. Sometimes its too low and I dont get 2nd or 4th. Other times no reverse.
It is driving me crazy Anybody got any tips that will help. Anything Please.

Re: Help Needed Gearshift Allignment off after replacing Bushes
Without the alignment tool its abit of trial & error. With the gear booth removed get someone to centralise the stick, between no.3 & 4 in the neutral postion. Tighten up, test then make small adjustments from there.

Re: Help Needed Gearshift Allignment off after replacing Bushes
Thanks Bru, I found the template online and made one from H/D cardboard. Hope it works.
How far beyond the clamp should the gear shaft extend (stick out?)

Re: Mk2 Gearshift Allignment SORTED
The difference a rebuild does to the car is really amazing. I would definitely advise anyone with older cars to do it.
But make sure you have the alignment tool before starting.
Kit from GW cost R105. Best R105 I spend on the golf ever.

No This one ...
Got the DIY Here --> http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3126584
The one you posted is next on my list. The Gearlever Housing Replacement.
Although, not sure if it can get better than it is.
I have NO side to side or up/down play.
