Well worth the £7.00,  i ended up paying £35.00 + vat from my local Vw dealer as he wouldn't sell the polypro bush seperate,  again made some difference to my gear change but ripped off at £35.00,  you should also start selling the Vw alignment tool as a package as this is a god send when resetting your linkage.

Maybe I should. Is there any reason why 2 or 3mm plate would be too light? I can't see any reason but all the ones I've seen seem to be heavier. Rubjonny If you send that CAD drawing on I could look into it!

By the way crevice I got your payment and I'll post that out today.

2/3mm should be plenty strong enough, but it needs to be chunky enough so it wont wobble about when fitted to the gearstick I guess?

just got mine, went to fit it but its huge compared to the metal rod
and bigger than the old orange ball.

Is there something stuck in the old ball that i need to switch over?

Yeah there should be a little white insert between the metal rod and the new bush - you can see a pic of it on the page with the installation directions. The fact that it's bigger than the orange ball is good too - tht's the amount of slack that's being taken out of your gearlever!

I meant the inside is bigger  :laugh: i can almost fit my thumb in!

i'll have a closer look when i get back. The ball i have now doesnt seem to have
that white part on it? just the orange with a black? insert that didn't come out last night!
