[QUOTE="Wannabay, post: 452652, member: 465"] reversing van into garage and my vintagespeed gear stick literally came away in my hand! it has sheared off by the locking nut, see pics and apologies for quality luckily i still have my original VW gearstick, but can I swap this in while it's in gear or should I take some mole grips to the stub of the shaft and try to knock it out of gear first? It'll be easier to work on if i can get the van out of the garage first [url=http://s151.photobucket.com/user/gatwell/media/IMG_0981_zps13831579.jpg.html][img]http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s133/gatwell/IMG_0981_zps13831579.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://s151.photobucket.com/user/gatwell/media/IMG_0983_zps4d3205fd.jpg.html][img]http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s133/gatwell/IMG_0983_zps4d3205fd.jpg[/img][/url] and I will of course be reporting back to vintagedan to see if I just had a duff one or what - I only bought it in March 2012 and have probably done 2-3,000 miles since gerry [/QUOTE]
