VR6 shift/linkage problem

[coilpack]

Hi everyone

got an issue with the shift feel on my VR6.... for some reason unknown to me the shift seems to go to crap, i have had it adjusted twice and

both times after a couple of weeks the shift becomes hard and clunky if you know what i mean amd i really strugle to shift into first

smoothly.... this is my first car with a cable shift.

my question is has anyone had this issue and what do i need in order to fix it ?

thankyou in advance

You may be able to improve it by changing bushes, but they arent the best. Best bet is to change over to an 02J shifter and tower. It will improve it to a mk4 standard

sorry if this is dumb and if im not on the same page, if i were to buy a short shift kit, would the kit replace the part that needs new bushings or is it in a totally different place on the car .... still a newbie with cars

cheers

Probably not
