Subject:Shifter parts for Syncro
From:Brent Christensen
Date:Tue, 14 Dec 1999 10:22:52 -0800

The shifter on my 5-spd (Syncro) seems to have a lot of side-to-side play
when in gear and in neutral.  In looking at the Bentley, I see several
plastic parts that look suspiciously like the shifter guts of my old
Scirocco.  Any suggestions on what needs replacing to tighten up the
shifting?  (I just had the linkages adjusted by a very competent mechanic,
so I am confident that is not the problem).

If replacement of the parts is suggested, anyone know the part numbers?  Are
they the same as in the Scirocco/Rabbit?

Thanks in advance
