    My 5th gear won't engage on my ALH what could it be

    He is still on the site and you could dm him to update this. I had problems with shift tower bushing that did this. They didn't appear loose moving them by hand but when I had someone shift it as I watched it was shot. I think it may have been Jokilia who outlined some internal trans problem...

    I made my own, pia, I don’t think I’d do that again. DG hardware was considerably better than anything I could source also. Not sure he has any anymore though

    how many miles have you racked up on your TDI?

    How do you like your 2010 JSW? I’ve been thinking of upgrading just for interior comfort. It would be hard to part with either of our ALH’s though, pretty darn dependable
