from the looks of it, this kit doesnt have the little plastic clips on the top of the gearbox, i cant really explain what i mean, there like little connectors for the little ball jointy type thingys, mine are all bust up and held together with cable ties mainly, does any one know where to find these on tinternet, or is it my local vw parts place i shud be irritating with my questions???

The same guy you got your kit from does them but they are in a kit that probably contains the bushes you have now.

Tierod 69 was where I got mine too, dead helpful and have used him a few times.

Also meant to say you should perhaps try searching web for missing linkz?
