Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Service and Auto Repair Manuals

From gearbox build date 07 02 9 the locating and mounting of the selector shaft has been modified:

Previously: The selector shaft 1 was located via a ball detent.

New:

The selector shaft 1 is located by the locating screw 2 via the detent element 3.

The locating screw is installed in place of the previous peg screw. To do this the thread in the gearbox housing has been increased in
diameter to accept the locating screw.

Tightening torque: 20 Nm

Note:

Before reinstalling the locating screw, two threads are to be coated with sealing compound AMV 188 200 03.

Mounted in bearing sleeves.

The selector shaft is mounted in the stop cap 4 and in the gearbox housing with bearing sleeves 5 and 6.
