Hey all , I have a mk4 golf with a 1.6 AKL motor and 5 speed box.
The last few weeks the shifter has become extremely sloppy you can put it in gear and then move it back to the Centre and move it in a circle motion all while in gear and some times it's hard to select a gear.
Now this leads me to believe that the bushes in the my shifter links are buggered I was looking looking on ebay last night and found 2 different "repair" kits for this one is a oem style with bushes the other is uprated style that's has no bushes (I will supply links for both as soon as I can get on a computer)
If I was to buy this would this fix my problem and make my shifter firm again or will it remain sloppy ?
Also they say to replace this other item(3rd picture) when doing the shifter links but I'm not 100% on what it dose and if I need it ?
Any thoughs or input would be great thanks
