Scottymon:
Definitely going to give this a try too... did you buy online or TPS / VW Parts Desk?

Great thread.

GTIEagles:
I ordered one today too. For £2.80 it's worth a shot! I'll update with my results.

SiofChester:
Fitted it tonight, less than 3 quid from the main dealer. Bit of a pain to fit on your own, you need two sets of hand to wiggle the gear lever whilst pushing the bushing but I got there in the end. Think it needs a bit more lube as the lever doesn't self centre any more but the gear change is improved

GTIEagles:
I fitted mine today as well, absolute bitch of a job on your own, in the end I had to limp in 3rd gear to my local garage and get them to sort it! Maybe it's an easier job on the mk4 because none of the other guys had issues. My shift has improved too and it's much more precise and solid feeling than before. That's interesting you say yours isn't self centring because that's the with mine. If I shift it over to the right it pretty much stays there. I didn't have any grease so I will try that as well.
