- Does anyone out there have any experience in replacing a 4-speed with a
- 5-speed in a Rabbit?
-
- I have changed the transmission already, replaced the left transmission mount,
- and the plastic-tipped shift linkages. I've got 2 reverses, both in the
- wrong place, no first, maybe a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
-
- The 5-speed has just been rebuilt, so I don`t think that that's the
- problem.
-
- Does anyone know what else must be changed/adjusted to get this to work?
-
- This procedure is *fairly* common, once upon a time there were even
- kits that included all necessary parts. My local VW dealer is no help.
-
- Thanks to anyone out there who cares to comment (whether it's helpful or
- not)
