16v ABF? Not heard of a ABK before.


It could just be your gear linkage, search ebay for gear linkage repair kits, they're anywhere between £5 and £20 depending on quality and what you get in it. init.

what gearbox did you have in there.  ?   if  mk2 8v  you need a mk2 8v. of if you have 16v or mk3 clutch you can use a mk3 or mk2 16v clutch.  if you don't mind changing the friction disk you can fit any 020 gearbox
