Hi im just selling my gti, but just want to put things right before she goes, it was a 8v agg, but i converted it to 16v abf last year, i retain the 8v box on the 16v engine while i was changing the engine i disconnected all the linkage, the weight thing and the rods etc as i was gonna install the 16v box but didnt.....

now while in gear and netural there is around 1 inch play in the stick up and down only, while in gear u can move the stick very freely a inch up and down before it comes out of gear!.

the gears were all fine before i changed the engine, i tried the haynes thing below the stick but this just adjusts the stick left and right..... im sure there must be a way of adjust this play at the gearbox end?
MK3 GOLF GTI 8V  now converted to 16v!!

Check the pinch bolt where the rod from the shifter joins the linkage is right :)
