The shifting on my mk2f has always been a bit rubbish - my first drive home in it I was pulling out of junctions in 3rd like a lunatic thinking I was in 1st and something was terribly wrong - turned out I needed to 'twist' the sifter counter-clockwise to get it to plonk into 1st. 1st to 2nd requires a lot more force than between other gears which is a bit of a pain jumping out on junctions and roundabouts. Got used to it and didn't think much of it but recently re-reading some other shifting queries I started to wonder if it doesn't need some new bushings etc. I guess the question

I got it in my head that I need to check the gearbox oil. I know that the box is getting tired, but I thought it might be a sensible thing to do. Looking at haynes, there is not a lot of information on how to do this. Is this even a sensible thing to do? I've noticed that there's a plastic plug that is very loosely covering a hole. It's on the top-front of the gearbox/clutch housing. What is this for? https://imgur.com/a/r8ExSnc

Hi, I wanted to ask how much torque will gearbox hold up reliably? Thinking about more power, but people are telling me the gearbox will fall apart, hence the question. Are there any ways to increase the torque handling capability?

Gearbox selector seal replacement - bush too?
zob posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
So I'm (thankfully) down to just the selector shaft seal leak on my '93 Polo now and want to have a crack at replacing it next week. I've got an OEM seal and 3l of oil - do i need a replacement bush as well? One of these guys? https://www.vwheritage.com/001301209-guide-bush-for-gearbox-selector-rod-vw-spare -
Hi, I recently replaced my selector shaft seal, and just now noticed that I've broken the new one in the installation process. I was wondering if the part where the shaft seats, like an aluminium tube, is interchangable, because I think I may have damaged it in the removal process and if there's a part number available.

Hi! So I am in the middle of changing my gearbox and just discovered that my old gearbox had cable type gear selector but the new one has rod type. Old gearbox is DFK new one is DCJ. I tried taking the cable mechanism from my old gearbox but the new one does not have holes to fix it to it. Is it possible to change gear changing mechanism or should I look for a new box that has cable type gear selector?
