[urq] Re: Poor gear shift

Another cure for the wobbly balljoint is the judicious use (after removal)
of a ball-peen hammer where it's wobbly.  Did this on the 200q20v last? year
and it took care of all the slop...

A while back I posted a call for help re: my poor gear shift in my WR.
Several of you gave me advice (Gerald Ward, Tony Lum, Ado Sigal to name but
three) for which I am most grateful.
I finally got around to looking at it. It was the big ball joint on the
selector rod. It was sloppy and all over the place. Lucky for me I had a
spare from a coupe quattro that I broke and used as a donor car during my
rebuild. The joint is fine on this and having fitted the whole rod the shift
is much better. It's not perfect, I guess it needs some fine adjustment but
it is loads better.
Thanks again for the advice.

All the best

Keith
