GEAR SHIFTER / SELECTOR LOOSE | ADJUSTMENT | CABLE | LUBRICATION | HOW TO | VW

This is the exact process you need to follow if you have a loose gear shifter / gear selector , this process is called calibration or adjustment
if selector is not feeling tight or not proving the confidence that its in right gear , or having too much of slop or free play , this is what you need to do . easy repair

we just need to lock the gear selector lever and the gear selector fork as well before doing any kind of adjustment or calibration

In my case the three plastic
arms holding the screw were slipping due to worn threads...And 1, 3, 5, R Gears are not engaging at all ...Mechanic told me to change entire shifter box which costs 23k... I just watched your video and i removed it, found that only issue was that arms.. I replaced it my self, Part costed me 1300rs.... Your video was a great help and saved me 23k🙏

Informative video. Appreciate your efforts. 1J0711761B is 10mm diameter and 1J0711761C is 8 mm diameter.

Excellent video, this is now my next job! Many thanks

This part is very cheap so just replace it, I ordered 1 x 1J0711761B which is the 8mm version where you swapped them over, I'll take it to the machine shop at work and take 1mm from the middle so it's a snug fit! the video was very helpful! Much appreciated thanks

hello, i think you can clean the connectors and then fill them up with silicone from both sides, make sure the silicone connects through the middle. for lubing the shifter you better use silicone grease. regards

Hi. In the video, you used a lubricant spray on the gear lever ball & socket joint at 5:26. What spray was that? Silicon?

Very informative brother. Thanks a lot !
Just want to know if the cable end bushing style is rectangle or round for SKoda Laura 2012 facelift 5-MT 2.0 TDI.
In this video, polo has the round bushing.

Also is the laura’s relay level material is metal or plastic where the side - side shifter cable slots in?

Hi bro very informative video, while shifting from 1st to 2nd the gear gets quite hard sometimes it kinda feels like it has got stuck in 1st and after applying some force it shifts to 2nd gear and all other gears slot cleanly any idea why this is happening. Thanks

[andreharmse]

I did everything like you showed it over and over and its only fine till i drive and then i dont get reverse and 1st and 5th gear and I've replace the short shifters one with the spring
