shifter linkage

[TalonBlitz00]

how hard is it to replace shifter linkage on a 91 tlaon tsi awd? guy said the car shifts alittle rough cause of the linkkage, is this true or is it somehting much bigger?

how exactly does it shift. I personally had to replace my linkage myself in my 92 gst, the cables for the front to back throws actually seized up and was stuck in 3rd gear. The cables actually broke and unwound then eventually got stuck.

Most likely the shifting's rough because the car's had a history of rough use and rough shifts. Pennzoil Synchromesh may help, it's a cheap first try at a fix.

Check the fluid level, all the shift cable bracket fasteners & cable end bushings under the hood first - then adjust the cables in the console last per the Shifter Section of the VFAQ...

well i ended up not getting that car. it had 124k miles and a 16g turbo pushing 25 psi. i didnt like that idea too much and the fact the trans shifted rough made me think it was beat the hell out of.

I think you decided well. Don't worry, there are a lot of good ones out there, still.

luckely that 25 psi was probly done on stock fuel pump and injectors so he saw the biggest gains, i hear that you car will feel faster than ever right before you melt the pistons!
