gear linkage

Hello! Just bought a 2.4L D 1995 T4. Also any advice on good spots to tour and places to spend a weekend! We're also new to the area so any advice much appreciated! We have little to no van maintenance experience but are keen to learn! Currently looking for any advice on a good garage to use...

hi everyone, Ive got a 2.5 tdi 97 having problems with finding 1st and 2nd, but can find them with a bit of concentration, and some times more easily than others, also have problem finding reverse and 5th its like the whole mechanism is moving around so the gears are sometimes there and...

Driving today with no problems then noticed my gearbox was stiff when trying to get in to 4th, then couple of minutes later problem seemed to have gone away. Eventually after a few more mins had to slow, selected 2nd then suddenly when I tried to change up - NOTHING - I could not move out of...

Hello:D I have a very loose gearstick on my T4 1.9 TD, is there anything thats common to wear/break? Can I buy a repair kit? Thanks JayT:

Hi All, I've just changed the linkage bushes on my T4 1.9 1999. Was hoping it would solve to floppy gear selection situation but it hasn't. I also did the short shift mod as well while I was there. I took the gaitors off the top of the gear lever to ensure that I had the stick lined up...

I've repaired the bushes on my 1999 1.9 T4 which if I'm honest was unbelievably easier than the majority of the posts on here suggest. I think the major Issue people seem to be having is getting the bushes on to the t bar and and the socket in to the mount. The socket was simple and is just a...

Help Please. 2006 1.9 T5 T30 LWB remaped to 130 BHP 5 speed gear box. Today while slowing down for lights and trying to select 1st gear nothing happened, it was like it was in netural. Then it wouldn't select 3rd either and again felt like netural. All other gears work fine and some times...

At the weekend I decided to rebush the gearshift rods to try and sort out the change and adjust it so I could get first. As theres been a few threads asking I figured I'd write up how to do them. I replaced the usual suspects, which are the bushes on the end of the T rod, which lifts the shaft...

I have a 2.4d which I have got a slight gear selection issue, at first I couldn't get 5th but I bought the Bush kit from VW and replaced it (at the box end) and that sorted that. However I still have an issue where selecting 2nd is a bit dodgy, it seems like you can push the stick to far...

Hi please help I Have lost my 5th gear, this happened when driving down a duel carriage at about 60 mph not been able to select since :eek: all other gears working ok and still drivable looking at other threads it looks like it could be a linkage problem does anyone have any advise on what...

Hi guys Asked before, fell on deaf ears, re-worded. My reverse is stuck in since changing gear linkage bushes. Could this be fluid related, or do I need to adjust something? Drives, but its pot luck. its getting embarrassing now. :gl

Please Help I have a T4 k reg 1992 2.4 diesel. that wont stay in reverse gear, you cant hold it in as it still pops out Is this a gearbox problem or may bee selectors? any feed back would be much appreciated as MOT comes up in 5 weeks. If it gear box do you think its time she went to the T4...

Hi new to this, can anybody please help K reg 92 -93 2.5 desil pops out of reverse gear, my mechanic changed the reverse lever (VW Part V701711 202) and some washers but no improvement. Can we try any thing else or is it a new gearbox.

Just picked up my new van. 2.4d with manual box. It will not engage 2nd when changing down unless I 'pretend' to put it in 1st and then go into 2nd. This I can live with and suspected it may be a simple worn linkage or similar. Now the problem has got worse on my drive home yesterday. It now...

:bhd Lost pretty much all my gears two days ago. One minute all ok, next I shift out of first from the lights to find nothing in all gears. After some feable wobbling and pushin and pulling of the gear lever I managed to find 3rd and limp home. Fortunately the roads were quiet. After much...

I have gear-change probs with my T4. It's not the gearbox it's the selector linkages. I had the two white plastic balls replaced last year, then early this month it all went waffly. They were all there but felt like stirring porridge. Had a local non VW, non secialist, garage look at it & they...
