Fitting Gear Linkage

[jackanoryboy]

I've just bought a gearshift repair kit for my '97 Anniversary (8v)  and was wondering if it's much of a job fitting it?  i.e.  can I do it with basic tools outside my house, or is it a bit more of a chew on than that?  I seem to remember being told the Mk2 was a bit of a bugger to do! 

If worst comes to the worst, I'll just bang it in my Dad's garage lol

i did the same job a few months ago. is real easy. just remember to mark the splined rod beofre you take the end clamp off. other than that is easypeezy. make loads of differnece. also you can take the rest of the slack out at the gearstick end by adjusting the ball and socket at the base of the stick.
