The abs 1.8 engine's idle's at 850-900 rpm when warm and if your's won't then you need to replace the temp sensor!!! and regarding your box it sound's like it need's the alignment resetting for the linkage's (and maybe a few of the plastic bit's that wear) use the search function as their is a good detailed post on here somewhere (and mk2's are similar)
hope that help's
