My brothers mk1 diesel is stuck in reverse. He took the linkage off. Now I am trying to help him. Fist question is how do we get the transmission out of reverse? It’s a 4 speed .

[@iiviiixcvii5048]

Realignment is what I’m struggling with cause I never knew one had to make markings🙆‍♂️

Hi sir I've recently replaced gear links and bushes but it's a struggle to select gear one

[@michaelkroukamp221]

There are also two small black bushes between the gear leaver and the selector shaft (under the gear leaver) they should be changed.also check the ball on the gear leaver and the gear leaver housing

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Lovely.. thanks!

[@abdulwaaghiedadams6205]

Hii Mr PJ. My Golf is stuck on the reverse gear. What can I do to fix it?

[@benhurmichobo9221]

Hey are you in kenya? Need help with my vw citicom 2002 1400cc.

[@msizihlongwane9965]

Hi Mr Pj's.. I'm a huge fan of your videos as I own a mk1. I've used your videos for troubleshooting and fixing my car and it has saved me lot of money and stress. My only problem is gear no 1 and reverse there's nothing separating the two, of which it makes it hard for me to select gear 1 without having to comfuse it with reverse. Any suggestions or I need a new gearbox?

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

You need to play around with the shift rod. Loosen the pinch bolt, and make a small adjustment either way, until the Gear selection becomes better... Well that's if all your Bushes are still good.. Worn out Bushes can cause the problem you have.. And also check on the 2 selector Rods, if they securely attached.

[@Unkindcake]

hi what are the 4 small plastic things for

[@louisgouws5680]

Morning Pj. Thank you for all your vids. It has helped me a lot can you give me some advice 2000 1.3 sonic if I shift from 1st to 2nd it grinds but the rest of the gears is fine. What can be the cause for that. Regards And keep up with the good videos

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Hi. You could check on your gear oil level, and also maybe the Gear linkage Bushes are a bit worn..

[@captainvw7355]

ok so i didnt put a mark on that shaft when i took it out is there a way where i can put it back in but in its correct place, does it have a mark that comes on the shaft or do we have to make one specifically for it?

[@ashtonswartz8902]

Good afternoon Mr PJ, I'm having difficulty changing gears in my 1.8 4speed golf, I find it very difficult to move my gear lever to select gears, any advice please?

[@funnyvideosdaily8714]

Did you manage to solve that problem?

[@ashtonswartz8902]

Nope, haven't driven my car in over a year

[@muhammadpandor8298]

Awesome vid, may i ask where can these bushes be purchased and if it comes in a kit?

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

[@hasanabrahams5984]

Good day , my doesn’t go into 1st and 2nd gear but the 3rd& 4th works fine . What can the issue be and how it could be solved , thank you please let me know

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Have you checked on the Gear Linkages and Bushes yet..

[@Be_A_Nigga]

Same thing applies to me......did you get help

[@mongezimakhetha7255]

Hey I own a mk1 golf and the car was 4speed and I bought a 5speed gearbox, and I still can't change the gear to number 5

[@rubenfilippus2956]

The link where to purchase them?

[@aslamhassen9756]

Hi Mr Pj my gear stick sometimes jams is it that orange bush

[@pjs-golfmk1-diy]

Yes if that Bush is totally worn out.. You can experience that and difficulty with gear selection. Chances are your other Bushes are also worn, so replace all of them one time
