I take it that 4th is not a problem? Normally there is a bit of adjusting to do when you tighten down the bolts that hold the shifter plate, but if 4th is not a problem I don't see how 3rd would be.

It should be filled up to the bottom of the fill hole with GL-4, not GL-5. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
