Gear linkage popped off at box

[NZT5]

Hi guys,

One of my linkage cables popped off at the box whilst driving this week, leaving me with only 3rd and 4th - obviously the one that controls horizontal movement. I can pop it back on easy enough but it's only good for 500km or so before it pops off again.

What's the permanent fix here, is there a securing clip that's gone missing?

Cheers

Hi and welcome to a fellow Kiwi.

T5 with manual gearbox I assume?
I am not familiar with the linkages on a manual transmission, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly who is.

Hi mate, thanks, yeah it's a t5.1 with a 6 speed manual 4mo box

Assuming it's the ball stud part of the linkage, you can try one of these Gear Linkage Cable Repair Clip For Vivaro Trafic Vauxhall Hot~ Clamp /UK| | eBay UK It meant as a quick fix repair to get you home, but will be permanent.

If your in a breakdown service, you could call them as they should carry these parts on the van. I know the AA and RAC over here in UK do

Thanks very much for the link on that part mate. Do you know what the factory VW fix (to put it back to how it was) would be?

A new cable will usually sort it out
