RE: mk3 transmission

reverse would be somewhat fixable, but the other gears I think it's time for a new one or a rebuild..sorry that's my advice.

RE: mk3 transmission

sounds like you have broken linkage
have someone move the shifter and look at the linkage you should see a broken part looks like a dog bone on the early transmitions
and the newer ones have a cable shifer that has a small plastic pivot that goes bad

RE: mk3 transmission

I am going thoughthe same thing now and thought it was the linkage but it turned out to be the tranny... I am looking for one as we speak.
