I find myself wondering if you have a problem like Gregs, where there the arm, that is welded to the shaft that goes into the AT to select the gear,actually has a broken weld. This makes the shifting unpredictable, and dependent on the direction you come into a give gear from. > One more thing.

I have actually never looked at this closely, since I've never seen one that didn't work. Is it possible that you didn't get everything reassembled correctly? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
