I seem to remember one of the parts guys at VW saying that this is a
"wear"
item on the 5 speed transmissions. In other words, it will wear out,
eventually. Now how soon it wears out is another story.

I'm just trying to save people and their friends some headaches by
warning
them to watch out for a certain condition. The original post was for a 4

speed trans and I'm supporting that car and the person selling it (I
tried
to tell him that on Thursday, but my email was acting up). Whether
anyone
wishes to believe/follow my advice is strictly up to the individual.
Personally, I don't know if I will ever buy a VW Fox, but if I do, it
won't
have a 5speed trans.

That's my advice, take it or leave, but I now consider the issue dropped

and will not respond further on the subject. :-)
