Re: citi golf gear linkage adjustment
- Put car into neutral.
- Loosen the pinch bolt that grips onto the splines.
- Set the gap to say 15 – 20mm.
- Tighten the pinch bolt.
- Check that you can get into first and second.
- Repeat if you’re not getting all gears by adjusting the gap with the pinch bolt loosened.

They are very easy to remove. Unclip the little clip the rotate it 180 degrees and pull it out then the ball joint will just pull apart then there should be a couple of little flats by the base of the ball where you can get a spanner and unscrew it.
What to do about gear change on a VW Transporter?
I had a similar problem on mine a few years ago and it was the nylon bush on top of the gearbox, where the levers from the gear-shift actually operate the linkage into the gearbox. If they are not broken or dislodged, then spray lots of spray grease all over the top of them and wiggle the gear-stick to get the grease into the gaps.
Do you have to change gear linkage on a T4?
Some T4’s from 1990-1995 have a different pivot bush at the gearbox end compared to a T4 from 96-03 this bush is no longer available and superseded to the 96-on bush.The technical data from VW is that you have to change the early gear linkage to the later linkage? This is not necessary!
How do you remove the gear linkage on a VW?
The linkage will be free to drop to the floor. Undo the bolt connecting the Gear Linkage Joint to the front linkage rod and twist/knock this free using a rubber mallet. (Normally you should mark the position of where the two pieces meet before removing so it’s easy to realign. As i’m replacing all the parts i’ve not bothered).
What do I need to repair my gear linkage?
However, when inspecting the rods it was quite clear that all of the bellows would need replacing as they had perished as well as rust and wear on other parts. I opted for the Gear Linkage Repair Kit from Brickwerks, this includes not only new bellows but also the bushes, gear shift joint and selector cup.
