5 spd won't shift
The linkage on my '89 S4 5 spd. is VERY sloppy all of a sudden. It feels as if it has come apart. How do I get acess to the shift linkage?? If I pull UP on the shift **** it will catch and work, otherwise the shifter does nothing at all. Pulling up gets a nice clunk noise from the front of the torque tube area. Any help? Any diagrams out there to look at?
Thanks,

Check out Greg's tips page at http://www.nichols.nu/. Look under Transmission, Manual for "Shifter Cup Failure". Hope that helps.

928 Intl website also has a detailed fixit procedure for the shifter cup. The cup is only aroung $25, but the job is a PITA. Did it just 1 month ago. A shop would probably charge about 2-3 hours labor.
