play in gears?

[sacvwgolf]

i was just wondering if there should be play in the gear stick. when you put in to a gear, you can move the gear stick side to side quite a lot. is this normal or should i change the gear ball thing?

yes, get a gear linkage repair kit, along with a replacement relay shaft ball - i think someone on here does the relay shaft balls

gambit, does the relay shaft ball fit the 1.3 primitive linkage? and scott, you may find that the palys in teh actual box, it is with mine, you can see the entire selector rod where it enters the box is loose

i not sure that there is any play in the box. i labeled the picture showing where the play is aswell as the gear stick.



if i replace the gear lever ball would that help?

where you put no play here, get someone to actually wiggle the gearknob when is in, and check, see if is turning, i was suprised when i checked, cause it was there.. if it was up the top you would have hell of a lot of rouble changing the gears as it would be all over the place if it wasnt tight
