I'd like to know if there is a way to adjust the linkage on a manual transmission in a VW to make it shift more smoothly. I recently swapped the tranny, and I believe the linkage is a bit off. It likes to jump smoothly out of 5th (no noise or grinding) at high way speeds and recently refuses to stay out of gear. The clutch is new and was installed professionally.How to adjust shifter linkage on a VW?You didn't say which year and style of VW.
The 5th gear on the older dubs (81-95) were splash oiled, and failure to maintain proper gear oil in the tranny would cause 5th gear fall out.
The Missing Linz site has the breakdown of the linkages by year: and depending on the year it could be as simple as changing the shift linkages.
