Gear Linkage Bellows

[Titus A Duxass]

Having had a "sticky" into 1st lever for a while I had a look under at the weekend.





That bellows is toast (does anyone have the part number?) and the plunger sticks when coming out of 1st (a small video now follows):

right to left looking forward

bellows 251 711 248 A
lock washer N 012 438 2
pressure spring 251 711 247 A
clinch bolt 251 711 246 A
damping ring 251 711 226
securing ring N 012 283 1
cap 251 711 242 A

I'd try classic parts for these bits Paul, most are obsolete from VW now and let me know what can be had will you and I'll look at stocking these bits

[Titus A Duxass]

Aidan,
Thanks for that, I will go through VW Classic.

I take it that I have remove the whole lot to get at it all.

[Titus A Duxass]

Excluding the Lock washers, securing ring and bolts (I think these will still be useable) the Damping Ring, Pin and Bellows are available from VW Classic.

[Titus A Duxass]

I do like VW Classic, they are so quick to respond.

251 711 246 A Bolt - 5,60 yoyos
251 711 248 A Bellows - 12,50 yoyos

Plus postage.

James

251 711 173 C are the guides in the bottom of the box under the stick

please note I suggested Titus go direct as he is in Germany

you will find that Brickwerks now stock these parts here in the uk for your convenience

Take them off and give them to a welder that can weld ally. Chickenkoop did this and built them up to where they were - job done.

I'm toying with idea of making new ones from PTFE.

[Aidan]

well I hope they get them remanufactured soon as lots of five speeds need these, I'll mention it to them

Interesting development, I shall make contact with this chickenwhatsit and pursue him/her, the Mrs won't have a hope in hell of working the box in its current state...

mentioned these to Baxter this morning, he reckons machining probably cheapest option - Silverbullet over to you.............

Had the same deal with mine: https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=64852

But as I said, its totally messed up at the back then cos, i got hold of a whole new front selection and box, was worse.

My whole selection now, seems shifted to the left for something, for 2nd I have to pop the piston a little when shifting down. Changing gear is always vertically up and down, no shift to the right or left. Maybe thats whats buggered up my gearbox, makes the grinding sound. Once could say there are 2 positions for 4th and 5th, one slight grinding and one very loud grinding.

Its going into garage for first time this weekend, deep in the Schwabian countryside. Leaving it for a week there to get properly welded up for MOT. Gearbox stuff aim for Autumn.
