you can buy a bush kit for where all the connecting rods connect together, phone up people like volkspares if you get no joy with your main stealer

i just got the kits from german & swedish. you need 2 kits, one is loads of little bushings and the other that ball and cup thing in the above picture and it was about ?15 for the two kits. its worth getting one of those weighted shift rods and fitting it with the other bits.

That kit is available from VW, well it was in November of last year.  Its not called a gear linkage repair kit tho, I can get you guys a part number off it if you're interested?

The kit I have is the same as the one at the begining of the thread by BlueMK2, and it isn't a gear linkage repair kit, its called a gearlever or gearhousing repair kit I think.

I'm going to go for a full MissinglinkZ repair kit when I eventually get round to sorting out my gear linkage:
