I was leaving my driveway this morning and when I shifted into reverse, I heard a slight pop.* I was able to back out of my driveway but couldn't get it into gear.* I pushed my car (96 Passat) to my curb and went under the hood to check it out.* It appears that the metal piece that connects the gear selector cable to the gear selector lever just broke in half.* It is the piece that attaches to the rubber bushing.* Do you know if the entire gear selector cable needs to be replaced or can just the end that broke off be replaced?
The piece that snapped now looks like the big "C". In the first picture, it is just to the right of the light. In the second picture, I showed the rubber bushing that the cable end is supposed to be connected to. The other end of the snapped piece is just on the other side of that bushing (you can't really see it in that picture). The big bolt thing attaches to the bushing and the big counterweight thing mounts to it.
I think the gear selector cable part number is 3A0711266.
Thanks.*
