last night i was driving home and the left hand side of my gearbox: reverse, 1st and 2nd felt stiffer than usual then 1min or 2mins later it was fine again my friends where saying it probs got a bit hot. and today i went to the shops and i dont know if im overthinking this but my 2nd feels a bit more notchy or im imagining it. the car is on 100,500 miles and most definetily needs a fluid change but i dont know if that would fix it or not? this is my first car and a dont know if ive effed my gearbox up?!! and the shifter is over to the right hand side of the gear stick area ever so slightly would that be from what happened from last night? just hoping i havent effed the syncros ect?!! or the gearbox of course. please need some advice as i use the car daily

https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/191798116a-gear-shift-repair-kit.html Hi everyone. Just picked up this repair kit for my 2f as I have noticed it is occasionally reluctant to go into some gears when driving. Thought this would be a cheap start to eliminate the issue. However I can't seem to find any repair instructions for this kit? Does anyone know of any or would be kind enough to tell me what I will need to do? Thanks guys

Hello, I own a Polo 6N1 from 1999 (1.9d engine). Recently my gearbox shifter had broken and I am not sure if the shifters from the other type of Gearboxes will fit or not. I am unsure what kind of gearbox I have sadly My chasis number is: WVWZZZ6NZXY427630 I will attach a photo below because I am unsure if the part I'm asking for is really called a shifter or not. I apologise for any mistakes I made, English isn't my first language. Thank you :)

Hi everyone, The feel of gear changes in my '93 5spd are feeling, in a word: lackluster. I have found a small rebuild kit on heritage and would just like some advice if anybody has fitted this kit before or has past knowledge. https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/191798116a-gear-shift-repair-kit.html Would this kit solve my gear change problems? As in would it refresh the change noticeably with just these parts? Thank you!

What is this bung? And should it be shut?
RileyMK2F posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
Hi guys, Just noticed this little bung when inspecting my engine bay. Never noticed it before so not sure if it's always been open but I wanted to know if I should close it? On a side note, it would also be helpful if anybody could tell me what it does and why it's there? Please see the photos below for reference. Many thanks. -
Can a cable shift box work in a rod shift car
Max Farley posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
So I've been trying to find a box to put in my mk2 but the best I've found locally is a cable shift from a MK3 does anyone know if I can connect my current shift mechanism to the cable shift box. -
Hi, i have a ETG gearbox from a 6n2 GTi. With the 5th gear cover removed i'm able to wiggle the output shaft about 0.6mm radially, and about 0.6mm axially. Can anyone confirm how much float, if any the shaft should have. The input shaft seems to have no axial play, and minimal radial play. Thanks

Hello, guys. I'm continuing the restoration of my breadvan and currently am at the gearbox stage. The issue is - the shifter itself has a lot of play when in gear. I don't know if that's normal or not since the car is older than I am and perhaps I'm asking too much of it. But still, it has a lot of play when in gear and the shifting accuracy is balls. By that I mean that you don't really ever know if you shifted into reverse or first, or first or third because of that play. (the reverse plastic "wall" on the shifting rod is broken this is why you can mistake it for the first) So if it is normal please let me know and if not - what would I need to replace? It's my first car and I'm still learning. Thanks a lot you guys. If needed, I can supply videos and photos, cuz I understand that "a lot of play" can mean a lot of things. But maybe it's a know issue or what not.

Hi guys, Broke down road side and had an RAC come and do a road-side repair, i'm now struggling to find a replacement for what he replaced. You're looking at the end of one of the gear linkages which come from the gear knob. You can see he put a piece of metal in the gap, between the cable/rod and the nut on the right. I'm assuming to stop the cable/rod popping off the nut on the end. Any ideas what this part is called / part numbers? really struggling to find anything other than the full cable which doesn't look like it comes with it!

Hi, I'm on here after a very frustrating few days looking for gearboxes. I have a 1.4 tdi diesel polo with the gearbox code JHG and am struggling to find one with a matching code that isn't overseas or ridiculously expensive. Is there other codes that would also fit my model? Or is there another car with the same kind of gearbox that would work the same? Or would I be better paying to get it repaired rather than replacing the whole thing? Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance

gearbox Some gearbox questions for my 6N2 GTI
rickvipe posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and Exhaust
Hello everyone. It's been a while since last time I came here looking for solutions for my 2000 6N2 GTI gearbox. Basically, at the moment I have my Polo at the mechanic for an engine rebuild, I also decided to take apart the gearbox that I'm currently running at, a 085 DKG gearbox from a 1.0 6n as I made a little crack in the housing near to the mount days before the rebuild. The gearbox is very short ratio, it is fun in the mountains but quite annoying on motorways. So I thought about changing the final drive of the actual box to a diff/ pinion from a 1.4 engine, so it can get a little bit longer but not as long as the GTI that comes from factory. Until here it's been clear for me, the solution is simple, as I only need to get another final drive and put it on the one I have currently. Once my Polo is already being all opened up, I thought about getting rid of that sloppy shifter. I had in mind to get a OEM shifter from a mk4 golf, Bora, a3, ibiza and so on, but I'm not sure if it would be a direct fit to the 085 box I have on my Polo. My girlfriend has a Lupo GTI and the shifter feels precise and solid and I'd like to have the same feeling on mine. The questions are... Could I get a 02T housing and fit all the gears from my 085 in it? to get a shifter from these series ? Are 02T boxes a direct fit to my car? If not, can I just get a shifter and fit it directly on my085 box? Any suggestions and ideas are welcome, I've been doing my research for weeks about gear ratios, combining available parts and compatibility with what I have and what I want to get, so I'm getting confused at this point 😅 Kind regards from overseas, Lisbon Portugal :)
