I bought an 04 passat 2.8 a week or so ago with some problems to try to fix. The heater core was bad. Pulled the dash out, and had to unplug everything. It's an automatic so I had to move the shifter all the way back so I could move the dash out. After putting everything back in, I found the...

I have a super clean 1993 VW Cabrio that has a shifter problem. It starts and runs fine engine wise, but it is a manual and only goes into 1st gear. If I shift into 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear, it goes into 1st gear. It will shift into neutral, but any gear I shift into, all I get is first. Any...

Hello All, I'm looking for an automatic trans from a mk1 or 2. I would prefer a diesel but they are much harder to find. Not sure if the converter is different. I also have a 5 speed if someone wants to do a conversion. I could also use information if you have some to share. Thx everyone.

Has anyone done a Cabrio steering system from Manual to power? I am almost finished this complex job, and have one more item... The shifting rod from the manual system will not fit on the power system, as part of the rack gets in the way, so I need the proper shift rod. I am in contact with...

Picked up another 1980 Caddy w/ factory shell. Found it back in November and its potential purchase was all part of "a plan" laid out upon selling the Lemon Snowball on the day it got it's eye punched out. Still have that car and still plan on selling on it...repairs have been made. Now all 4 of...

Sorry, if this has been asked several times, I'm sure it has but it seems like I can't find the right one. I wanna change my automatic shifting knob in my 2007 Base model Rabbit, to a manual knob. (I know, learn to drive stick, lol, but not helpful now that I bought this one.) My friend has a...

Hi, my golf won't shift out of park. It is an automatic and doesn't appear to have an override. The usual brake, ignition, button doesn't allow the shifter to move. The solenoid makes a sound when the brake is depressed, while the car is running or key fully turned. I can't pull out the...

Shift has gotten almost impossible, and the shifter is loose and rattles terribly. Research suggests I just need to replace the shifter bushing? I've also seen this would be a good time to replace the coupler as well. I'm on cip1 and see the coupler kit and the shifter bushing with ring. Do...

Okay...picked a Caddy today that was part of a bulk deal. Mentioned over in Lemon Snowball thread. I probably have over 95% of the parts I need to put it back on the road...just missing the plate (not the ball and socket) that goes on the floor that the shifter parts then attach to...and...

Hi guys, I bought this mk3 gem while back and something is bothering me. Shifter seems to be loose. Should that white plastic part be inside the black metal ring?

My Volkswagen shifter is sticking. How do I fix it? We tried greasing it, that did not work...

This morning I realized that my CC is stuck in park. Symptoms: - Parking lights are working when I step on the brake - Green foot light on the dash is always on - Lights next to the shifter are all off (P, R, N, D, S) - P is flashing on the dash - I've disassembled shift surround and physically...

Bought a dune buggy that has a mid engine set up. It uses cables to shift from one gear to the next. Its is very easy to move the shifter left and right, but when pushing or pulling into any of the gears it gives resistance definetely more resistance than it should but i can shift into all the...

Yesterday was driving my 1981 rabbit mk1 5 speed 1.6 diesel getting on the highway when it would just not go into 5th I stopped trying shook the shifter then engaged 5th easily it seemed like I just need to re-aline the linkage with a little shake to get it in gear how do I fix this problem?

Recently swapped a 1989 transmission into our 1985 cabby. It shifts great but only if I lift up on the shifter. If I shift normally I can go into reverse without pushing down and it is difficult to find gears. If I very slightly pull up on the shift knob everything works perfect! I think the...

04 Passat 1.8T, Had to replace Coolant Tank the other day due to a crack. Replaced it with an OEM tank, also replaced the Coolant Temperature Sensor. Went to start, turns over but does not start. After searching forums and the internet, concluded it might be the Crankshaft Position Sensor...

So one day I park my car after driving all day. Car was driving fantastic, trans felt great nothing out of the ordinary. I try to go and I notice my shifter all of a sudden cant move to the right. I have a 4 speed so all I can access is 1-2-R-N. Okay so I replace all the linkages one by one...

I bought a shift knob and boot for an Audi A3 and I figured I would try to retrofit it onto my 2007 Jetta since my knob was getting old and didn't look too appealing. The part came in and I followed a diy I had found. The main problem is that I had to be pulling the button on the knob outwards...
