Car stuck in gear

If you look at my pictures in the link I posted the brass bush is in the input shaft, you can tell if there is any wear by "feeling" for any wobble in the long metal rod which operates the clutch.

I did not have a slide hammer so once I cut a thread in the old bush I used a bit of threaded bar and screwed it into the bush then used a socket as a spacer and screwed a nut and washer onto the threaded bar to pull the push out.

info from broke VW.

I did driveshaft seals, release bearing, push rod seal and bush, and the output shaft seal recently with all the info off BrokeVW site - it is a great resource. I put a bolt in the brass bush and then knocked it out from the release bearing end using the old push rod.
To be honest, the hardest one was the output shaft seal - that took some real effort to get out.
I also did the release arm seal as mine was shot.

Ahh, I remember now. I have been through most of BrokeVW, just couldn't place the bushing. I will have to check my set tomorrow, or I will have to order the set you linked to.

Lots of kits out there and I think you can buy just the bush?

Search VW 020 gearbox as if you add Mk1 Golf the "scene tax" sometimes gets added and the price goes up…. O_oShop around as it’s the 1st link I found.

Found a decent box. I have removed the old bushing and seals, and started to fit the new seals at the flanges.

I noticed that when I had fitted the first seal, it becomes alot more difficult to turn by hand. Without any flanges fitted, I can turn the diff axles very easily, but as soon as one of the flanges is fitted, I have to get a hold on the flange to turn it.
I hope its due to the pressure on the bearing, and nothing I should worry about?

All sorted now, thanks for all the assistance, guys.
The new old box runs nicely, and no leaking.

To be honest, I have never seen or heard of that part going bad.  

If you could take a picture of the part on your car and where you suspect it being bad by circling it that would help us all assist you.

If that place is indeed bad, then you are looking at probably locating it at a breakers.
