It's either a matter of the front transmission mount, the shifter position adjustment, or something internal in the transmission. Draining and replacing the gear oil can help diagnose the problem. If it's clean then the problem is probably elsewhere, if there are metal particles in it then you have internal problems that probably point to the need for a transplant. > I think I'm going to need to take my square into the mechanic to get > this work done, and I'm just curious if there's any parts I need. > > Hopefully looking into my weird fuel problem today.

Okay, I was wondering about that, because I'm worried that your DF wire is getting shorted to ground somewhere, under some particular circumstances. > But here's the kicker, whether related or not.

Or coincidental but only related to my reverse problem? Both R and 2 are pulled back on the shift lever, so this makes me wonder about the front transmission mount. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
