Hi I'm new to this forum and I just bought this 03 Jetta TDI silver.
I am having a 5th gear issue. It will not go into 5th gear the rpms just go up. I found out yesterday though that if I put into 5th gear while sitting still it will go into 5th and move. I adjusted linkage per diesel geek. Had fluid changed but he put in 140 so I changed it out and put in factory they gave me gl 52. what else oh I changed out the shift tower on trans because it stopped going up and down on it's on and lock pin was messed up..I changed the side to side washer as well..u bought a short shifter but didn't put it on yet. Please help!
