Riva 0 Posted December 18, 2006 Hi All! I have a 93 vr6 with a sloppy gear box, lots of play when shifting. The actual function is fine, no problems in selecting the correct gear, just wanted to tighten up the feel! Is there anything I can do, or is it a job for the professionals? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldie 2 Posted December 19, 2006 I think there may be a poly bushes that connect the linkages together. If they are worn then the gears will be lose. Its nothing to do with the gear box itself. Try asking at the dealers if there is a kit you can buy to replace them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Well... The C has a cable change gear linkage, so the only places where wear can occur are the bushes/spring/retaining clips on the lever, the gearbox mount and the selector mechanism. The cable ends can also break (at the gearbox end), but these tend to go only as a result of some 'forceful' gear selection when the mechanism is out of adjustment. The 1st thing to check is that all the circlips holding the gear lever meachanism together are present and correct. Refitting these if they're missing makes a big difference.

Rustynuts 0 Posted December 21, 2006 I think you might find that you are just experiencing cable change gear sloppiness. Even the tightest and adjusted feel cack. Rod change is soooooooo much more positive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobby 0 Posted December 23, 2006 can a bush replacement kit be bought from gsf as they do one for the mk2 golf but don't have one listed for the corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
