Jimmy, glad you saved this one.  I have some good used computers here if
you are in need of one of those.
Also the shifter I would get a new cup, ball, and boot at the least,
probably a new rear bushing as well.  We have all of those parts available,
if you want I can type up and estimate for you and email it over.

That connector doesn't actually connect to anything.  It was a diagnostic
port for a VW special tool that has been obsolete for probably at least 20
years.  So just leave it alone and don't need anything plugged into it.

Let me know if I can help you further,
Ken Wilford
