You might try replacing all the bushings in the shift linkage.  Takes
about 20 min, the kit runs less than $10.  If that doesn't help much, try
adjusting the linkage.  Procedure is in the Bentley book.

Correct product from Redline is MT90 for the VW trans.  MTL was used by
many before MT90 was available, but MTL is a little too thin.

The Techtonics exhaust is a good product, I have used them on several VWs
