I recently noticed my shifter acting up and did adjust the linkages according to the 'How to's' but it wasn't much better. Noticed some slop on the linkages on top of the tranny, so I replaced the Shift linkage(The one with the white square shaped bushing). Readjusted the linkaged, same problem. A friend finally noticed a lot of play on the shaft of the shift tower. Started to have a look and it seems there is a bushing in there that has worn well beyond spec, but I don't think there is a replacement part that VW would sell separate from a new complete tower.
I'll try posting this pic, and draw an arrow to where it is.
Please ignore the red arrow, its a borrowed picture.
Anyhow the black arrow pointing to "Here!" is where the shaft heads downwards, and there is noticeable slop there.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
