Supercharged 2 Posted February 23, 2005 There is a tool for the 02A boxes that VW use but I've heard you can do it yourself using trial and error... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Edwards 0 Posted February 24, 2005 The tools is a very complicated looking beast that only VAG dealers are likely to have. Manual adjustment is possible using nothing more than a ring spanner and a little care. Before starting to adjust anything though, make sure your gearbox mount is in good condition, that all the circlips at the gearlever end of the mechanism are present and correct, and carefully mark the existing positions of the cables on the gearbox end of the mechanism. Next, what's not good with your existing gearshift? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brian g60 corrado 0 Posted February 26, 2005 just a bit sloppy to be honest,and just wondered ifit could be improved . and if a tool could be made up easily.cheers mike. brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 26, 2005 If its just 'sloppy' and changes ok then it may just be a missing circlip on the lever... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted February 26, 2005 Seconded. If they're out of adjustment you tend to find that they don't go into specific gears (or stay in specific gears)... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brian g60 corrado 0 Posted March 3, 2005 have already fitted new clip on the gearstick and changed the box oil to gl5 80/w90.but just find it hard to get 1st and 2nd.mainly when cold. also find the throw exesive,would adjustement improve this. brian.

Supercharged 2 Posted March 3, 2005 This maybe because the oil should be a 75w-90 - not sure how much difference the 5 will make but you'll notice it most with the current weather... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 3, 2005 1st and 2nd are usually reluctant when cold, it's a trait of the 020 and 02A boxes. The 02M isn't much better either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
