A common cause for a sloppy or awkward to select gear change on a vintage vw is either the rear coupling is worn or the guide bushes. This coupling is under the back seat on beetles or visable from underneath on a splitscreen bus just in front of the gearbox. Easy to change with just 2 grub screws, You can re use your screws or new ones are available from the Wolfsburg Retsos ebay shop. The gear rod bushes are also available from our shop. Top Tip: Make sure you wire the grub screws to stop them from loosening and falling out.
