part number you want is 191 711 595 A

also get yourself a weighted shift rod off a mk3 golf (not gti or vr6), will make gear changes alot more smoother and iron out any 2nd gear scrunch you might get

they r only ?1.50 at euro parts i think! mine snapped after i had the clutch replaced was fun stuck it third! lol give them a call they normally stock them!

Any idea how much these weighted MK3 shift rods go for?
