[@pavlosgeorgiadis7570]

mate i just saved £150£ i did it like you!!! You are the best.

[@lootcifer6191]

You are a life saver! I almost replaced the whole gearbox but this trick made my shifts smooth as butter. Thank you.

[@beating2]

Same here haha

[@jamespearson5242]

so i bought an audi tt mk1 needing a new gear box! did the adjust, now its all smooth as. nice one bro

[@thegamebros8455]

thank you (again) for the video! fixed my issues (again) :D

[@stuartwinstanley4949]

Learn something new every day thank you 👍

[@gplusgplus2286]

If you take the time to replace the 4 plastic bushes (actually 3 plastic and 1 rubber) you will have a brand new gear selector. All 4 parts were only 5eur genuine from Audi. There are also 3 plastic bushes on the engine side of the linkage that are about 25 from Audi but cost pennies aftermarket. Noone replaces these and you have sloppy gear selector at the cost of some DIY time. If first gear is difficult to engage then you need cookbot's bush (UK) or the dieselgeek one (US), as stated in Bryn's comments below.

[@jules13692]

Hi, maybe you have a part number for the kit? thanks. DieselGeek's will take too much time to get here...

[@fxdyba]

Thanks for the trick 😊

[@garydavis4228]

I'll try this at the weekend. 1st is fine. 1st to 2nd crunches. 2nd to 3rd ok. 3rd to 4th I have to shift it over to engage. 4th to 5th ok. 5th 6th I have to pull it towards me. Same all through the gears back to 1st. Just seems 2,4 and 6 are out of line with 1,3 and 5

[@nickbritt]

Did a reset fix this 1-2nd problem Greg ?

[@garydavis4228]

@@nickbritt me? It didn't on mine no

[@jasonpugz]

I did this and it helped abit but first and reverse are still hard to get in , once I get into the gear and come out and back in it’s fine .. is this a synchro problem ??

[@toliskrassas668]

Hello from Greece have the transmission problem i did as you say at the video but i cannot put it in reverse any help will be appreciated

[@Trig0r]

My 3rds a bit dodgy at high revs, up from 2nd or down from 4th, might give this a shot at the weekend..

[@richardpalmer4936]

Did it sort it?

[@mp-ez1it]

i retry first try only oposite was out of box and i retry and now again no 1rst i go buy a 5mm..need change the shifter?

[@VaunbQ.]

I have a problem with getting in and out of reverse and I’ve tried resetting the linkage I may have not done it right the first couple times. Sifting into it sticks and is hard to get out of but I hear no grinding while driving and using reverse. Could this be something else? Any thoughts?

[@bigfacts1914]

Did you solve your issue? [e-mail]

[@nichoaus3070]

I'm actually having a similar issue...

[@kbs3631]

Drive shaft maybe

[@azzkicker54]

I had similar. As stupid as it may sound, it was the timing hole plug that had gotten lose and put itself underneath the shift linkage preventing it from goin down fully. The hole is slightly left of the shift linkage

[@ontopofaz1]

Where is the pin fella? I’m not sure what I should be pushing in???

[@shemmo]

Also good idea is to clean and grease gear linkage pivots on the gearbox side, it is just couple clips

[@ArtzierzDJ]

Silicon grease spray work a treat mine was being stiff. And Silicon grease is made for plastic so it doesn't ruin the plastic parts

[@garethb7741]

With this is the plastic clips(x1) don't lock off will i need a new one?

[@mjbstorm]

Need to do this on mine cheers fella👍

[@matharris100]

Wished you lived nearer to sussex my tt needs your help.....

[@lylejenish23]

Question about the locking pin: when pushing in the assembly and then engaging the pin, should there be a click or an indication the locking pin is engaged? When I push in the pin, it doesn't seem to be engaging and just slides in and out.

[@BWSTT]

With the pin in, you shouldnt be able to move the shifter, but it will come out easily without tension on it

[@lylejenish23]

@@BWSTT Thank you so much. Wonderful channel, great advice, greatly appreciated.

[@monoton9597]

While following your video, finished adjustments and pulled locking pin out and transmission shifter is still stuck, no gears at all except 3rd. At this point, what should i do?

[@BWSTT]

Redo is, something isn’t set right

[@monoton9597]

@@BWSTT Oh. Thanks for reply. I just tried again and it still not releasing my shifter. I am suspecting that locking pin is snapped inside. I removed end link bushings from shifter and pull the pin, it doesn’t releases. Should I pull the shift tower out?

[@BWSTT]

What was the original issue before you did the reset?

[@monoton9597]

@@BWSTT no issues were present. I changed engine mount for first time (it was very flat lol) so now engine sits pretty tall. So I decided to do shifter adjustment by myself. Follow the process- but put the lock pin first and removed the end links. After finishing the job, pulled the lock pin and shifter tower is stuck. Now I lost all gears except 3rd gear. (Shift tower rotates but not moving up or down)

[@BWSTT]

The ends of the cables must not be in quite right

[@mp-ez1it]

i buy a audi tt with 80k miles..it was ok i park it outside of my house next morning i try put 1rst and nothing..i try reset linkage and now im no netural...were is that pin to lock linkage?

[@jerseyactor6053]

Man I'm still not understanding how. My Audi TT has problems putting in the first gear I kind of have to trick it like if I'm going into reverse to catch the first gear

[@hassangooner233]

i got a b5 s3 and i got two problems, this happened after the engine was removed and put back, gears shift fine when car is off, switch the car on the gears are abit hard sometimes buuuut theres no reverse. instead it goes forward, tried playing with the shifter in the engine bay but am failing, the clutch sometimes stays on the floor, no grinding noises, no leakages, help :(

[@AlexSmith-ig9up]

Ive had trouble getting it into first and reverse would this fix that

[@BWSTT]

Probably

[@AlexSmith-ig9up]

@BWS TT okay thank you I'll try

[@stevenmoffett7505]

My clutch pedal broke recently. I now have it replaced and i can't get any gears. So i did the reset and can get all gears but 2nd pops out. Any ideas? Are they fiddly to adjust?

[@diydaveman]

This didn't reset mine. It actually seems like there is something broken beneath the shifter. I'll have to pull it apart to see what is going on underneath and then try this, thanks!

[@matthewablett8154]

I have an issue where it jumps out of 6th gear on acceleration, would this adjustment help to stop that?? Thanks for any advice

[@DavidB-rx3km]

3:44 what did you kick over? 😂

[@hristokoprivtchin6812]

Hey BWS TT the gears on a TT 1.8t Quattro are very tough to switch from and sometimes they dont go into gear even what could this be if you could help it will be appreciated.

[@ericpaul80b17]

How do you know the tension is correct? Was it loose or tight before? Sorry, I’m confused.

[@BWSTT]

Its not about tension as such, its about length

[@ericpaul80b17]

@@BWSTT so I think I understand better now but want to double check. When you lock in the shift lever and the linkage under the hood then release the cable so that it evens itself back out within those two points and then lock it back in and release the two locks and then can check?

[@blinsenb]

These alignment holes are nowhere near each other, they're almost an inch off! I'm so confused. I have to damn near put the shifter all the way left (towards 1st gear) just to get the holes to line up for the pin. Is something wrong? There's no way that's the resting reset position lol unless this will realign and fix itself somehow when I get the slack out?

[@BWSTT]

Just trust the procedure

[@blinsenb]

@@BWSTT I was going to do it right now, until I found my one bushing is trashed 🤦‍♂️ lol thank you, I'm going to replace that first then do the procedure. If anybody is curious, I'll report back!

[@arispoli1269]

@@BWSTT I’d 100% trust you with the procedure… learning so much from you about this car. Sent you email with list of work, hit me up if you’ve got time post 💍. And congrats!

[@DeathcoreJayK]

Hello, I have a problem with the first gear and also with the reverse, when I sit in the car, first gear goes pretty easy but after +- 30 mins I can't gear the first speed, it just feels like there's some rock or some wall which is blocking to gear, every other gears works normally, it only happens with the first gear and with the reverse gear after like 30 mins of driving. Next day it works the same, first 30 mins no problem and then again, some wall blocking to gear the first speed. Does anyone knows what's wrong before I put it into the service ?

[@rollinmedia1414]

Hey man! Did you ever figure this issue out? I have the exact same issue with my Beetle Turbo S!

[@4L10]

Hello! Anybody know the exact size of that rotting semi-transparent bushing thing in there? I'll attempt a DIY since this: www.dieselgeek.com/products/first-gear-getter-for-vw-mk4-golf-jetta-new-beetle isn't available near me. Or I'll probably go for the assembly from compatible models and transfer it over. Because, you know the deal, when it's called a TT part, it's double the price even though it's the same darn thing. Heh!

[@BWSTT]

Contact Paul Cooke, cookbot automotive, he does a replacement

[@4L10]

@@BWSTT Thanks for the reply. Not in UK man. I found some pack of basically noname gear lever bushings for VAG. 191798211S If none of that package has fits, I'll go for a "makeshift" fix with poly seal or gasket cover sealant type of thing, or possibly 3D print a dieselgeeks copy with trial and error. It doesn't feel bad currently but you know, once it begins to act weird, the inevitable end is nigh. Love your vids! Take care.
