So my gear stick just went through the floor :/

And my manual is still awaiting despatch from the seller (apparently) it's a 1.8gti if that makes any difference! Any ideas as google images is not really helping ! 

Can only think the bolts have rattled loose

It's hopefully not as bad as it seems! Take of the gator and have look, it's just a couple of nuts and bolts that holds it in place. Should be an easy fix. I replaced my gear stick ball recently and for a novice it was easy enough!

Took the gator off and it appears that the bit of gear linkage won't sit in it's runner properly. 

This might help

should 10 fasten to 46 in any way or should it just fit and rest on it.. The problem I have is that the gear stick just keeps falling past 46 

Can't help with the last question as it's been ages since looked at mine!

However I remember years back mine did this and the problem was the circlip no 28 on the drawing had come loose and moved up the gearstick.

Hope you sort it

cheers andy I will go to the garage and take a look later to see if that circlip is still in its place…  does anyone know where I can get the rubber boot that goes at the bottom of the gear linkage with the circle cap in it… gsf don't do them and nor do heritage and crazy quiffs is showing out of stock  

Had a look around and can't see one on the mainstream sites. Looking back I got mine from ebay new for about £7 so was lucky.

Maybe one just to keep an eye out for. I guess as you've pushed your gearstick through it the rubber is ok but the sealing disc is missing?

Unfortunately not fella  the sealing disk is fine but the rubber boot is absolutely knackered 

Ah damn. Stick a wanted post up in the classifieds, I'm sure someone must have one in fair condition somewhere
