Not sure if this is normal.

Car is 6 speed diesel with 110k miles.

Gear lever has a lot of play when in gear. Only recently realised after comparing to a T5 van very similar mileage but obviously very different gear box but would have thought should be of similar feeling considering they are both VW gear boxes.

Any info would be great.

Thanks.

More than likely the plastic selector mechanism at base of Gear lever . Theres a spring on my sons thats broken so gear lever feels loose and doesnt re centre. Also check the cast weighted selector balance (not sure what its actually called) on top of Gbox as well. Son in laws vw van is the same as its loose as the centre spindle/splines is worn. Looks like this

It can also be the plastic unit that the cables connect to.
