The whole box feels notchier than usual. but the only gear it wont select properly is 5th. it has progresively been getting worse and only now has become unbearable! exactly as you described your problem. I will get my mechanic to take at look at the selector pin. has your whole box tightened up?

My 95 16v GTi golf does exactly the same thing, i have been told be various mechanics that i need to replace the whole box and clutch. i am yet however to take it to a VW specialist. Can you let me know if changing the 4/5th Syncro resolves the problem. Cheers chris
