Just got a 5-speed one from e-bay brand new and boxed for £20. Says it's for the newer models but fitted on mines perfect. They had quite a few left if anyone fancies one:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230355245519 Here's what mine looks...

I have just put a new gear stick in my Ibiza but the clamp that hold the knob tight just won't go any tighter so the stick is stil moviving, is there anything else I can use and where can I get it from.

After reading a thread about gear changes on a TDi, it prompted me to ask the same question for the TFSI engine. I've had my K1 for about 6 weeks now, totally loving it. Initially I changed gear below 5000 rpm as I was told that I shouldn't over rev. Once I got used to the car I started giving...

Eventually managed to watch Sunday Nights Top Gear and was disappointed that they never had a cupra there, perhaps they will if Seat brought out a 300hp version! I know it probably would have been hammered by the Focus ST and renault thing but i think the FR or Cupra deserves a look in to the...

I know the leon boys n girls have to change to 3rd before getting to 60 but I am positive that I would not have to as speedo is showing 60, no where near the redline. Any one else noticed this?

hi, ive got a 1.4 on a T plate and want to know if i can take the gear stick off because i want to shorten it. thought it would be easier than doing it in the car. any sugestions?

I did a funny gear change the other day and since then the gear lever has been really stiff with left/right movement and doesnt spring back to centre.. I assumed I have probably caused something to slip in the gear linkage, or maybe broken a bush? The other thing is the car seems to think...

lots of people have different claims to mpg and so on in their tdi 150s so just wondering how do you all drive Gear ---> speed 1st ---> 2nd ---> 3rd ---> 4th ---> 5th ---> 6th --->

hello all, iv just got myself a new gear knob for my LCR but i was wondering how the hell do you get the original off on other cars iv had they just screw off but i cant seem to budge this one:wtf: any help would be grateful.

Have problem but it could be minor or something serious. Think my cupra has an upgraded clutch but not sure as pedal feels hard. Normal day to day driving it goes into 3rd gear fine but when im reving hard through gears from 2nd to 3rd it crucnhes as if you havent put the clutch down, Any...

the metal strip which pivots as part of the gear box linkage has snapped at the point that the weight sits inside it. I have searched all over the place and cannot find any information on how to get hold of a new one. Does anyone know where i might be able to find one?

can any body recommend a good oil to use in the 02j box which will get some serious abuse also can some 1 tell me where the drain and filling point is and where to fill it to any info is a big help thanks :D pm me

Broke my 1st n 2nd gear after reversing to park up. Ive read up on this as being a rivet on the selector fork. I know the work involved as im an ex mechanic and was wondering if there was anyone willing to take on the job of fixing it for a reasonable price? Gutted only bought the car...

hi, i recently had a stage 1 cc remap, iv enoticed tht my revs seems to stay high when changing gear especially in 1st and 2nd, also my turbo whistle sounds ore like a whoosh of air rather than a whistle like it used to sound like before a changed my TIP n had the remap, could it be a boost...

I think my cars got a bit of a thud when you change gear. Anybody else heard any noises? Doesn't happen when just cruising just when you 'boot it'.

As i cant seem to find any used genuine ones on ebay im asking about the aftermarket ones, for instance these...

Anyone else had as title. Had a nice momo gear knob for a year or so and the gaiter is about an half a n inch too short. Want a replacement as it looks very tacky it meets the gear knob only just and it taught and looks cack! Was even considering making my own as looking at the standard one it...

I picked up my chrome gear surround today, have gone to fit it and am having a little trouble, i've found the 2 pegs on the top and pulled them up and can now remove the frame but i cannot for the life of me get how to remove the frame parts so i can fit the shiny new chrome ones?? Any help...
