First Gear Getter

Click here for Install Instructions Has your VW lost First, Reverse or Fifth gear?We've been reuniting VW owners with their first gears for quite a while! Repair the damaged or missing relay ball on your year model 2000 - 2007 MK4 and MK5 shift lever with our innovative bell crank relay socket. When your relay ball bushing develops a flat spot or disintegrates you will find that it is hard to get into first gear without pushing the shifter stick hard to the left. You might even readjust your shifter to enable you to get first and second gears but that makes it darn near impossible to get fifth gear. The dealer alternative to this repair kit is to buy a new shifter shaft assembly from the dealer for around $100 and then drop the exhaust, heat shield and shifter box to install it. To install this part you only have to remove the center console* inside the cabin and push the part into the steel bell crank to the left of the shifter stick. Just make sure to remove any soft rubber remnants
