Bent shifter rod (the long one)
« on: May 07, 2021, 12:16:40 pm »
MK2 golf 5-sp.

This car substituted zip ties as bushings where the two orange bushings are supposed to go (exiting the shift box and just at the fire wall).

Can someone tell me if this long rod is supposed to be straight or bent? I have two and they are both bent in some form or fashion with no similarities.

Thanks.

my question also pertains to Westy vs. German. Are the A2 frames identical? Hence, identical parts placement/alignment. The components are more robust on the German vehicles than on the American made ones.

Thanks.
