I have a 98 Jetta TDi 5spd. I am looking at removing the shift mechanism on top of the transmission. I am having a hard time getting the car into 1st gear. I noticed the shaft leading into the transmission has for aft and side to side play. I want to remove the two bolts holding down the shift mechanism.
Can this be done safely? I would like to change the bearing or bushing on the selector shaft.
If you can direct me to a link,or a manual transmission repair guide, I would be greatful.
Thanks,
Ed
