Does anybody else's '98 Jetta TDi gear shifter vibrate and have the most annoying rattle to it. the rattle is just loud enought to be nerve wracking.. I at first thought it was just the shift knob, but it seems that it is the entire shift mechanism. if I touch the shifter the rattle stops. but sometimes I dont want to drive with my hand on my shaft(he he) shifhet. sorry... /images/graemlins/grin.gif how does one fix this? or does a shifter upgrade solve this? It sometimes drives my batty /images/graemlins/mad.gif, so I think I want to do something about it now.

Thanks Eric B.

Sounds to me like you have a loose shifter or something. Search around on here and you will find information on how to adjust this. It might not be the problem, but it is a good place to start (free...just your time involved). If you need a hand finding some info, PM me...I'll search around a bit if you can't find anything.

Had it in my '98 Golf, dealer failed to fix it twice until they replaced the gearlever, problem solved.
