Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Checking and adjusting selector lever cable
| Selector lever cable must be removed from gearbox so that
its ease of movement can be checked. Put removed end down so it
does not rub against anything. |
| The selector lever must be moved and then the cable must be
reattached to the gearbox. |
| Then the selector lever cable must be adjusted. |
| Always adjust selector lever cable, when: |
| The selector lever cable has been removed from the gearbox. |
| The engine and/or gearbox has been removed and installed. |
| Parts of the assembly mounting have been removed and
installed. |
| The cable itself or the selector mechanism has been removed
and installed. |
| The position of the engine and gearbox is shifted, for
example to install it free of tension. |

to »S« and back to
»P«. |
