Gear Linkages

Hi made a post about this on the Newbie forum and got some advice but hoping to get a bit more.

Really struggle to get MK1 GTI 83' in to 1st gear, took it to a mechanic and he gave me a diagram and highlighted which parts I need to get. When I have looked at kits on the internet it doesnt look the the parts match those that on the diagram. Anyway any advice would be great!

I still think it is a gear linkage kit that you will need.

It won't do any harm as they all wear out through time and they are cheap enough.

Here is a link from the forum into how to do it.

Thanks Massbad69, Ill get it ordered and give it a go  

We do the kits

Also I'd strongly advise replacing the relay ball (no 21) 
These are 99% of the time worn 
Not on the shop as I haven't put them on yet but if you buy the kit and want the relay ball then I can do you one for £11 

now have the relay arms on the shop

Funkstar, thanks for the links. I have already ordered a kit off ebay, will have a look at the arm to see if it need replacing before I order.

No worries
