Just did mine, I got the kit for the bottom of the gear stick from my local VW dealer! Cost ?12

Have a look in this forum there is a thread I started on the same thing, there is a link in there that someone kindly gave me, it's a step by step guide on how to fit!

You need two people and around 2-3 hours.

The pin on mine was a right git to get out, get some mole grips before you start to get the pin out if it is really stuck in!

The other kit I had a loacal mechanic fit for me, the kit replaced the lot by the gear box, and cost me ?100 fitted, the kit it self is around ?60 I think.

Good luck

I bought a gear linkage repair kit off ebay for about ?7.50, good quality parts and all fits properly!  Only thing it didn't include was the relay shaft ball, and instructions .

What if I paint a go fasta red stripe down the side, would that help?

I'm going to treat myself to a full set of uprated metal shift rods from there one day!
