[Vwdiesel] sloppy shifting all of the sudden in A2 Jetta

[Dave Cook]

I agree that Roger's parts are great!

While looking around, though, have someone manipulate the shifter.  This part
<http://www.germanautoparts.com/Volkswagen/Rabbit/Transmission/407/1>
broke on the Banana Rabbit when the guy who bought it went to back out of my driveway!

He backed out, but couldn't get it into first gear!  The shifter was flopping around under the car!


Didn't really put me in a good place when it came time for negotiations...

Bryan,
I have used Rogers parts and they are a proven winner...cured problems 
both my 85 golf and my 81 Caddy.
