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

[mikitka]

Roger has everything you need.  I got all my parts to rebuild my shift
linkage from him and now it is nice and tight with smooth shifting.
I had to replace basically all the bushings that are right there at the
transmission and under the car where the rod moves out from under the car.

Thanks Roger, you are the man.  from the links you just sent me it will
be easy to get under the car and figure out what I need.  I will order later
this week.

Could be the relay shaft bushings:

or the ball cover:

Easy enough to pop the hood and manipulate the linkage by hand and see where
the play is coming from:
