Susan : On the early 091 transmissions, the shift-fork adjustment was critical. On the later (091-1)models, there was no adjustment at all. I can't remember what year you had. A worn gear hub or operating sleve gives this type of slipping out of gear, but VW sells the hub and sleeve together- you should not have an old sleeve. If it is late model, that it almost *has* to be an external adjustment. Good luck!
