Anyway, my friend has a 73 westfalia van, and it isnt shifting gears properly. (4 speed manual). The transmission was replaced about 1000 miles ago, but its done alot of sitting in the meantime. Anybody had troubles with shifter linkages on these? what part of the linkage should i be looking at? There's a bit of play in all the visible joints, but nothing that i think would cause it to shift this badly. | | | Re: volkswagen van shifting trouble #58259 March 07th 2006 4:27 pm | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 198 member | member Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 198 | That shift linkage goes from the shifter all the way back to the transmission, long travel. The joints in the linkage must be worn | | | Re: volkswagen van shifting trouble #58260 March 29th 2006 1:29 am | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 21,211 Likes: 25 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 21,211 Likes: 25 | Perhaps the clutch cable needs replaced or adjusted. | | | Re: volkswagen van shifting trouble #58261 April 14th 2006 12:55 am | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 2,224 Hoavc Chairman 2006-2009 | Hoavc Chairman 2006-2009 Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 2,224 | NO it adjusts right where the shifter goes thru the floor.....Its a simple adjustment you loosen the shifter from the floor and movr it around....try it first one way remembering where you moved it from....it that movement doesn't work move it a different way.....they vw had a real problem of popping out of 3rd gear mechanics went on and on about how hard it was to fix....really showed them up when you could adjust the tranny in five minutes without getting under the van | | | Re: volkswagen van shifting trouble | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 Festerus Vannimus | Festerus Vannimus Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 | There is a square shaped rubber/urathane bushing right behind the shifter, replace it first, it WILL make a big difference.
