Gear Linkage Repair Kit - T3 / 4&5 Speed / '87> / PETROL

2WD and Syncro.

Please note chassis break below.

Please note, the image shows the machined aluminium lever cup... we had these made when the cast VW ones weren't available.

The VW parts are available again now, so we have switch back to these.

Bear with us, this may look pretty complex but its actually quite simple.

Between the bottom of the Gear Lever and the selector shaft on the side of the T3 5 speed gearbox there are a number of bushes and components which help keep the gear change nice and smooth. Wear in these components can cause poor gear change and in extreme cases loss of some gears altogether!

So, we have shelves full of all the parts which will allow you to replace everything that wears in the linkage. Generally we don't like to sell a complete kit to replace everything, we'd rather just fix what's wrong... easy for us here when the vehicle is on the ramp, but not so easy when you're miles away!

What complicates things a little is that there are a couple of changes to components depending on year and fuel type, so we've put these kits together, four different kits in total to suit all combinations.

In short, the four different kits are:

Early Petrol - From Chassis Number DH000 001 to HH113 601 (1983 to 1987) 
Early Diesel - From Chassis Number DH000 001 to HH113 601 (1983 to 1987) Syncro to HG119911
Late Petrol - From Chassis Number HH113 602 (1987 onwards) 
Late Diesel - From Chassis Number HH113 602 (1987 onwards)  

The one in bold is the kit you are looking at here!

If in doubt, let us have your vehicle details (fuel type and VIN number) and we should be able to confirm.

So, complete kit from the front end of the shift rod to the selector shaft on the side of the Gearbox.

The kit does not include the "Lever Repair Kit" that sits in the floor at teh base of the gear lever, see related items for those.

Other Items which also wear, but aren't in the kit are also shown in related items.
