I was bricking it having just done the clutch that months later something had gone pete tong. You guys really are so useful. Thanks again for taking the time to upload this and prevent many a haemorrhage by TT owners... 👍👍👍
Hi Bryn, thanks for the videos, they're a great help. I did this but then, when securing the linkage, I broke the retaining bolt. Help needed in sunny Tamworth
Had to do this myself last year with a new pickup, luckily its far easier on the 180FWD with the box still fitted, no access issues and a satisfying fix to do.
Thank fuck for a good editor. Great video with plenty of voice over explaining. And no irritating drum and base background music. The background music is irritating to say the least. “ none of that here “ I’ll be watching a few more of your videos. What a great educational video.
There are I think two more plastic bushes at the selector and 5 under the gear knob inside the car (the round ball thingy on the selector and a few more), all the gear knob bushes cost 12eur from Audi and are still available plus the ones you shown and for about 20 you get a gear selector that feels like a brand new car. Did all mine when the cable bushes went and now at 250.000 kms the gear knob feels amazing. A very worthy fix. Thanks for the video mate.
Great Video...will advise...be very gentle with that hammer. I had that problem when I bought mine and broke the lower mount off when giving a little more persuasion....oops. Luckily gound a great local welder! Great Video on cause and fix!!
Do you happen to know what would cause the gear stick to be hard to put into 5th but all the other gears work fine, I took it into have it linkage adjusted but the guy at the shop mentioned something about a bushing or something needing to be replaced which would need to be done by a specialist.
I did this, this morning. It was a pig of a job as it's hard to get the left bushing out. Anyhoo, did it, lost reverse, first, third & fifth gear. Tried again & gotit sorted. Thankyou for your tutorials
amazing video, been loving the content recently! could you possibly do a video on the TT mk1 and how to fix the display screen behind the steering wheel? mine is all jumbled and it is very hard to read. thank you!!
I will be doing one at some point, but its not really an amateur DIY, and if you have the skills to do it, you probably already know how to do it, as it requires soldering a strip connection to change the display unit
Id never soldered before and had a go at the screen with a £15 ebay screen and a new iron with a sharp point on ot. I used a magnifier and sorted it myself. Happy days
Hi all, has the same prob with mine, before I stripped down, I sprayed liberously with WD40 twice and left overnight, it then free'd up! Unfortunately WD40 dries out, so sprayed (aerosol can) with general purpose lithium white grease on all pin entry exit/entry points. It's worked I perfect for 5 months and all over hot summer! 😎
Had this problem on both my TT's sorted both with gearbox in, one sorted with rubber grease, without removing plastic clips, the other plastic clips got destroyed, just cleaned hole with small circular file attached to mole grips. Replaced plastic clips from Autodoc.
Hi Bren, would u b interested in a CG sports stage 2 clutch and pressure plate, never been fitted still in box, cost £320 when purchased, only looking for £200.. Please let me know if u want more info. Cheers Gary Bradley

I'd be that plum who greased it trying to get it to work 🤣
Thanks for sorting it properly.

Some of my videos do contain a bit of background music to break things up, but the education is always the priority
Hey, what's the name of the plastic bushings or parts number, can't seem to find them anywhere. Thanks.
I'm having same issue did you find them in the end and where can I order them from

Do you have a part number or a link to buy these parts, please.........if poss...
I was hoping for part number too.
Great timing, just bought a TT with this problem. Hopefully wont be too bad to fix with the gearbox still in the car.

Yeah hopefully you can see in the video its just gentle taps to persuade it. I also use a pry bar, just depends whats handy at the time

I'm having a go at this in the next day or so 🤞

How do you feel about the ULEZ stuff and TT's not being compliant (euro 3)
some are compliant . i have a 2002 225 bam and that is
This is my first project come spring. My shifter is so stiff.
Appreciate it won't work for all, and if corrosion minimal, gotta be worth a try!
Preventative maintenance is better than none imo!
Bloody awesome and informative as per usual.
Please keep up the great content!

Original ones from Audi are probably cheaper than aftermarket.
