go into the vw parts section on ebay and search for 'tool' usually some on there

Or use a casette tape. Although I suspect those are getting rare these days as well. Does an iPod work?

hi there,

best gear linkage kit to get off ebay is from tierod69, this is B&B Components ebay user name.

they really know their stuff and are very helpfull.

got loads of bits and pieces from them over the last couple of years.

if you are replacing the linkage, make sure you replace all the bits under the gear stick, i cheated the first time and did the bits i could get to in the engine bay, which worked for a couple of months, but ended up doing the whole lot when i was replacing the exhaust, and now th egear change is as good as new, with no slop in the gear stick, which is nice
