Mk1 VRS sticky gear leaver

Featured Replies

Hi,

I'm selling this vrs here and I'd like to make sure it's Ok for whoever takes it. It has a sluggish gearlever that doesn't really spring back to the centre. Like if your going from 2-3, you have to push it forward, drag it to center and then push to third. I guess that the linkages are a bit gummed up or something. The transmission itself feels solid so I don't think the problem is there.

 

Any thoughts?

I'd start with a linkage alignment (procedure already posted, probably more than once) and a light grease on the pivots.

Thanks,

fixed it by taking out the Airbox and cycling through the gears at the gbx end. Greased pivots a bit and cleaned the top of the gbx too. There was an accumulation of crap around the linkages.
