right mate lets to bottom of this do you have the electric plug there for the sensor?? and if so is it plug in the dash??

[wuzzy]

nope just a cable with a gear at the bottom if thats what you ment!

[golf8v]

so is your cable just hanging there with gear on it??

[wuzzy]

yep and i looked high and lo for where it fits cos i have no meter reading!

[golf8v]

so all need to do is undo the bolt pull the electric drive out put your one in with cable on and refit bolt

[wuzzy]

aha ok i,ll try that as soon as its light and i,ll be back to report if it worked or not by the way could you tell me what this is pls(the big black weight!)

[golf8v]

thats a weighted shift rod from a mk3 we fit these on mk2 as they make gear change so much nicer
