You're just temporarily SOL. Put the rear up on jack stands, block the wheels and roll under there with a screwdriver. There's a odd-shaped cover right ahead of the tranny. Three screws and you're in, be prepared to catch the shift coupler set screw. I had this happen to me, left me in third gear 30 miles from home. I'm afraid it didn't do the clutch any good slipping it in city traffic. I replaced the aftermarket shift coupler with a genuine VW part, has never happened again. Those set screws are supposed to be wired into position, but the coupler metal was soft enough that the threads stretched and let the screwscrew loose. Don't forget the safety wire. Could be worse, you could have been left in neutral. On Sat, 4 Apr 1998 11:00:10 -0800, you wrote: >hi all...... >well heres the deal.....
