The type 3 has the access plate on the bottom side. Once you take it off you will be able to see whether this is your problem or not. Make sure the coupling is intack AND that the set screws are tight on both ends. > Can anyone tell me if this shift coupler will fix the loose shifting > and any tips at all regaurding replacing them would be greatly > appreciated! The other possibility is that the shift bushing is worn out. This plastic bushing is replaced thru the hole that is left after you remove the shift lever. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
