Not as bad as the title states though
Been having major issues getting into and out of reverse the past couple of days. If anyone has looked at the contraption on top of the tranny, you'll know what I'm talking about.. I had the roller pop out of the little metal cage it moves around in.. That means, no reverse.. So I fixed that after a little cursing and swearing...
Well I reverse out of a spot at Crappy Tire and what do ya know, it doesn't want to come out of reverse. So I get pissed and start applying more then a normal amount of pressure on the shifter..and SNAP!!! There goes one of the plastic pieces attached to the shift linkage ontop of the tranny
So I had to drive home with only 2nd, 3rd and I think 4th gear.. No way it was going into 1st...
So now would be a good time to get rid of that entire assembly VW put into the 99.5's and get an updated unit.. Now here's my question.. I know I need to change the shift box, cables and the stuff on top of the tranny, but is it a direct replacement from a 99.5+ car?
