Wobbly gear stick

Post by stecha05 »

Hi there I have a 2009 6 speed manual and my gearstick seems to have alot of play forward and backwards, side to side seems to be okay. I've done some research and I'm hoping I just need to replace the bushing on the stick and maybe the bushing on the linkage underneath. The problem I'm having is I can't find where on earth I buy them from, everytime I search it just brings up the classic scirocco parts and not the new model. If anyone could help i would really appreciate it thanks. :)

I would spend a little bit extra and buy a full shift linkage kit.
I have an Ebay quickshifter kit (with a mod to the bolt/nut to make it better).

It's a really good shift.

Hi I also have a problem with a sloppy gear stick, although mine is loose from left to right.

Can you link in your ebay listing, or PM me the link? I'm only finding old 'MK1/2 Scirocco stuff on eBay...
