I have major problems getting reverse..............& I have had nothing but manual VAG cars for the past 21yrs & this is the worst gearbox from new that I have had!
I have re-aligned it as it is the same procedure as most VAG cars. BUT I notice that the alignment hole in the gearstick base is now plastic & not metal!
When using the same bolt & drill bit method that I have always done to very good effect in the past on VASG cars......on this car there is still movement due to plastic! AArrrgggghhhh!!!
I tried to correct this 4 times now & only one of those times was it anywhere near perfect!
Used a T27 key as round 5mm shank, best so far as 1,2,3,4,5,6 is way better but reverse is still a pig because although you push down & to the left it downs down "slot" but only half way down, so not fully forward, so have to re-engage first & try again, with the reversing camera going in & out......
hoping to get the VAG tool T10027a to try to do the job perfect..............
beside this & bloody wipers (yes I have bosch) & cleaned the screen, infact have gtechnique quarts coated & still judderedy but better than when I got the car...........
The car is great................
