Sounds like a pretty major internal rebuild is in order, BUT.....

Have a look at your gear box bounts first incase the tranny is moving back and forth, causing your ailment.

havea look at the shift plate under the gear stick maybe its not fitted correctly or needs adjusting to the correct position

If you dont knoe how its susposed to go then take to a good VW shop for checking

then look at the gear shift universal joint under the rear seat

then look at the front and rear gearbox mounts etc etc
