Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / August 2008T4 Gear selector problem.
My T4 has done nearly 89K. It is a 1998 non turbo 1.9 diesel and suddenly I am finding when I go to change into 5th gear I am getting 3rd again instead. I can drive it but I have to really push the lever into the slot to get 5th. Anyone got any idea what the problem is? pete > My T4 has done nearly 89K.

The Nylon/Plastic Parts of Linkage near the Gear-box and the likely the Combined Plastic and Rubber Bushing at the End of Selector Rod are required Replacement. Mien was at similar Mileage. Costs of Parts is so-so but the Costs for ManPower.... btw it is impossible for DIY as I have tried! You are likely charged by any VW Garage for 2-3 Hours "Maxi" <maxi@so.com> ???????:g8i5dg$qnr$1@aioe.org... >> My T4 has done nearly 89K.

I can stand all that but now I have the problem of getting it booked into a VW garage due to the W/E and Bank Holiday. Will it do any harm to keep on using it? pete Try trading for synthetic gear oil. |
