Surely, there is a method of doing this for every manual car on the planet?

Just a matter of finding the procedure for your car, and vw would be fairly similar, I would have thought?

just been out and done this,what a difference and i didn't even think there was anything wrong with my gear changes,the 2 bits you have to push and turn clockwise were clogged with sh!t gave it a good spray with some carb cleaner freed it up nicely
