Gear Linkage Repair Kit
« on: 28 February 2007, 18:57 »
Hi guys, I'm normally in the mk2 section but my son has a 1997 mk3 1.6 100bhp. 140k mls. The gear linkage bushes are shot so probs getting 5th, 1st & reverse  :sad:.   The linkage & bushes look identical to a mk2 gti but I can't find a repair kit for it listed on GSF. Does anyone know whether they are identical? Or if not where can I get a repair kit? Thanks  :smiley:

I know to fit the kit it's identical to how you sort a mk2..and the gearboxes are similar..I got my part's from the ebaa and they was listed as mk1/2/3 fitting
on another note 100bhp for a 1.6????? :undecided:

Thanks BB, will get those parts on order then.

Yes, 100bhp. Some late mk3's had the 1.6 AFT mpi engine which has 100bhp, they used it in the early mk4's and seat Leons before they went 16v. The one we have is a GL which has the colour coding & skirts, headlights & leccy stuff etc like a GTI, apart from the grill, once you put alloys on and lower it a bit it takes a second look to tell it from a GTI but insurance not so high.  :smiley:
