Sounds like there is something about that shifter that is just wrong for a type 3. Is there any chance that it's for the wrong year, or that there's some small difference between a beetle lever and a type 3? If you unbolted the shifter base plate and rotated it 180 deg would that help? (ie, is it symmetrical?) The set screws on the coupler go into dimples in the shafts. Did yours drop into those dimples? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
