my thoughts as well

my thoughts as well

Is it running a gearbox linkage system like VW do on their transverse boxes rather than a direct lever ?

If so I'd check the plastic joint on the gearbox end as the Vw ones can snap or get loose (mine is atm, need to get it sorted as selecting a couple of gears is awkward)

Essentially as they wear down the nylon bush inside causes excessive movement and it can then either break or feel like the gear is jammed when you go to select. New piece is £15 an an hour to fit on mine

Might be lucky not sure if he'd have one or two on his, I have two as its a 6spd DSG box rather than a standard manual box

Pretty sure they're all transverse boxes though aren't they ?


Either way being german for the majority of derv models it might share some of the weird designs they use…..the mongs at VW could quite easily have fitted a properly seated engine into the golf with a shift mover like on a fender box
