RE: Tranny ?

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Linkage adjustment, bushing replacement, grease, plastic rod thingie
replacement. Try all of the above first, as its much easier, and cheaper
than replacing a trans! I rebuilt 90% of my linkage, and I am still not
satisfied! So next I am going to replace the little shift ball thing, and
the poly bushing the the relay rod goes through. After that, its just normal
play :)

Hi Everyone

My 86 8v Scirocco has a grunching between the 1-2 shift and the 2-3 shifts.
I have been assuming synchros and preparing myself for a tranny swap. WHilst
reading my Bentley I noticed a section on External adjustments concerning
the "selector shaft detent plunger" and the "fifth gear lockout plunger" on
closer inspection I have discovered that my little rocco has to plain old
bolts where these to mechanisms belong!

Is it a possibility that if I replace these adjusters and adjust them to
spec I may avoid purchasing a tranny? Is there a Tranny Dr in the house?

Please respond direct to bcuda@infohouse.com

Thanks
