Assembling together   Caution The lower leg of the pressure spring ( → Anchor) can jump off uncontrolled from the shoulder of the selector angle during further handling. –  Thus carefully press down the lower leg from the shoulder of the selector angle plate. The legs of the pressure spring tighten „crosswise“ with a loud noise

–  To slacken, turn around the legs of the pressure spring -A- and -B- towards the right. l  The legs -A- and -B- must point in the opposite direction. Shown here for inserted shift lever guide.

–  Insert shift lever guide with shift lever into the shift housing. l  The stud -arrow 1- is still located in the recess of the shift housing. –  Turn shift lever guide in -direction of arrow 2-, until the ball stud -A- is above the recess of the shift housing.

–  Position shift housing with shift lever guide into the larger recess -arrow- of the Insert base - T10083-.   Note If necessary, first of all remove the shift lever so that the shift housing with shift lever guide can be inserted in the insert base.

l  The shift lever guide must protrude out of the shift housing as far as the stop. –  Insert the leg -A- of the pressure spring from the top into the guide. –  Pull leg -B- of pressure spring downwards and insert the leg -B- next to the guide (in direction of the spherical head).   Note To provide a clearer illustration, only the selector angle plate is partially illustrated. –  Carefully remove shift housing with shift lever guide from the insert base - T10083-.

–  Move selector angle plate up to stop to the rear (opposite the location holes for shift and selector cable) -direction of arrow 1-. –  Grease the ball stud with grease -G 000 450 02-. –  Press the ball stud into the selector angle plate -arrow 2-. l  The guides -A- and the tabs -B- must not be damaged.

–  Position shift housing with shift lever guide into the larger recess -arrow- of the Insert base - T10083-.

l  The shift lever guide must protrude out of the shift housing as far as the stop. –  Lift the upper leg -A- of the pressure spring over the stud of the selector angle plate. l  Use a new bearing shell -B-. –  Grease the bearing shell and the bearing ball of the shift lever guide with grease -G 000 450 02-. –  Press the bearing shell up to stop onto the bearing ball of the shift lever guide. –  Remove shift housing from the insert base -T10083-. –  Press the bearing shell into the shift housing -arrows-. l  All catch pegs must click audibly. –  Insert the lower leg -C- of the pressure spring into the guide. –  Lift the upper leg -A- of the pressure spring over the stud of the selector angle plate into the guide.   Note Install the shift lever if it was removed.

–  Attach shift cable and selector cable to shift housing with circlips -2 and 3-. –  Press shift cable and selector cable onto shift lever and selector lever into shift housing (lock washers -1 and 4- are no longer available).

–  Install gasket and attach cover for shift mechanism by bending up the tabs -arrows-. –  Install gearshift mechanism (Octavia II) → Chapter. –  Install gearshift mechanism (Superb II) → Chapter. –  Install gearshift mechanism (Yeti) → Chapter. –  Setting the shift mechanism → Chapter.
