Shifts better than new.

[@jonyhopkins1]

Really very great video photoes and comment

[@Jaydeeyo54]

Is it possible to replace the ball socket (the white piece) with little disassembly of other components?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

Yes, but it's better to just shim it.

Hello, i just need the spring replaced, is the drilling part necessary?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

Yes that's all an assembly. I can't say I've seen the spring fail before though. If the stick is not returning to center I bet there is a seized bell crank transmission end of the linkage.

What size is the snap ring? Mine did its job and snapped off the pliers, then went Mach 1 into the seat rails somewhere.

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

14mm. 9/16" works

just had my "Deluxe Shifter Bushing kit for 2008+ MK5 and Mk6 vehicles" arrive for my 2010 mk6 gti. I'm putting together a list of parts/tools I will need before getting started - from watching your video I have so far: JB weld 2 part epoxy 8mm (5/16") drill bit 28.575mm (1 1/8") hole saw 2.38125mm (3/32") drill bit sandpaper for super pin card stock Am I missing anything?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

Dental picks and necessary tools for console removal. We have a video on that.

Trying to find info on the reverse lockout mechanism for this shifter. I can go into reverse without pushing down so its easy to mistakenly enter 1st/reverse gears. Is this solved by taking out slop or is there a physical reverse lockout bushing/bracket part that I need to confirm is not damaged?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

Lack of reverse lockout is usually a maladjusted side to side cable or bushing slop precluding a good adjustment.

[@benjaminswile6807]

I have the same issue. The gear selection is fine but I no longer require to press down and select reverse. I saw from previous models there is a plastic plate that can break which I don't see in your video..... I see many videos about bushing replacement but not the lockout plate

[@snipgod6101]

is this possible in a day? i kinda need my car to run the next day and im scared to tackle this.

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

No. There are two separate gluing operations that need you set up overnight

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

If you try to rush through it, you're gonna have a bad time

[@snipgod6101]

the gluing for the super screw piece ?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

The whole job. It is a labor of love. You must take your time.

[@snipgod6101]

i need my car everyday, i guess this shifter will never be perfect

[@lvortxzl]

After the install my shifter won’t return to center it needs a little push and no reverse does any body have an idea why?

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

Usually slightly misadjusted Super Pin end float causing some sticking in the forward pivot, less commonly slightly smaller than nominal stamped hole in the bell crank. For the former reset SP end float, for the latter some light sanding on the FGG will alleviate side to side drag.

[@dieselgeekdotcom]

As for reverse, perform a shifter alignment.

[@lvortxzl]

i ended up pulling on the cables pretty firmly and it made everything work smoothly, i guess the cables where just binding somehow.

How bout 2000 TDI beetle?
