Considering the shifting probems: (1) the transmission is freshly
overhauled (2) a new clutch and throwout bearing was installed. (3) all
external wear-type shift components were replaced a few years ago from
front to rear. Perhaps it's time again and they can be adjusted properly
then. No other components replaced.

I did not get to see this installation myself, which I usually do, but the
work was done by an old time VW mechanic who now works on nothing but older
Volkswagens, primarily Beetles, aircooled buses, and Vanagons. I can only
assume he did it right until proven otherwise. But, he had no instructions
to replace any external shifter components.
