Hi,

I am a new GTI owner previously coming from an Audi A4. I absolutely love the car apart from the gearchange. There seems to be quite alot of play on the stick so if it's in neutral or in gear I can wobble the stick about about 2cm each way compared to my Audi which was on 20K more the stick was like new with mm of play.

I have read this topic: http://www.r32oc.com/topic/43306-loose-gearshifter-easy-fix/ and it can apparently be fixed by a new shift assembly bearing. Worth a try or am I expecting a bit much from 100K car?

Thanks

Phil

That would always be worth a try !

Yeap, that can't help. also get a short shifter, 42 Draft Designs shifter bushes and see if Alex at AKS has one of his shifter bracket bush sets for sale.

Alll the info on all those parts and where to get in my build thread, possibly page 1.

Ordered one of these to try, fingers crossed, it's a very cheap fix if it is. Less than £3!!!!! :jumping:
