Measure your balls
« on: 03 September 2011, 19:28 »
Hi Guys,

Can somebody please tell me, or spare a few mins to run out and measure the diameter of the gear linkage relay shaft ball on their mk2 golf?

There are plenty of places you can buy these but I need one yesterday so I'm gonna have to make something to spec.

This can be found to right of the block at the top rear of the gearbox and steering rack as in this pic:


I need to know the diameter of the ball, measurement 'A' in the pic:


Mine currently looks like the one below. A white spindle with no rubber at all leaving 2-3 inches of play in the gearstick!




Appreciate your help in advance,

Cheers,

Jeff
