Has anyone ever tried adjusting the shift linkage as per Dieselgeek's Jim Royston's video and the plastic locking lever didn't lock the assembly from moving up and down? I'm trying to figure out why the shifter wants to pop out of 5th gear and tried adjusting the linkage, but when I turned the black plastic lever to the vertical position, it did nothing. I need to figure out if there is a way to fix this in order to be sure that adjusting the linkage will not fix my 5th gear problem. The car is a 2001 Golf with 5 speed manual transmission.
