I have been driving the 87 GL for a couple of weeks now and I must say it is quite nice. I have been driving the Mothership, a 79 Bay for so many years, I had forgotten VW made a smoother ride.

Anyway, I seem to have a snag getting into first gear. The Bentley inferred that the problem might be remedied with an adjustment. If the adjustment doesn't work they suggest replacing it with the new style shift housing that was apparently new for the 88 model year.

Have any of you had similar experience to this?

What did you do about it?

Where did you get what you did with as it was needed?

How much did it all cost?

Thanks,
